Electronic Boost Controller

I need a little help. I have the HKS Boost Controller w/ fuzzy logic, and everytime I try to boost over 1 bar it cuts out and starts boosting at .5. Not just first gear, but all gears. What could the problem be and what can I do to fix it.
Thanks

are you running a stock turbo and stock engine management?
If so , you are running into the factory boost cut.

Yah, it's a stock turbo. Is there a way I could bypass that cut off, or maybe even just take it off?

A HKS FCD..fuel cut defenser could raise your stock ecu boost cut..but you will not be getting any more power. The stock turbo starts gettting inefficient and blowing hot air at 14.7-15.1 psi (slightly over 1 bar). Try tuning the boost down slightly to its limit.

This was the latest test. I set it on 1.05 bar and it works fine. Sometimes it would pass 1.05 and that's when it would drop to .05 . So I guess that 1.05 is my limit...
