Faulty diverter  valve I bet. I'd put money on it if you definitely installed the software correctly.

Going from stock to stage1 you should be able to tell the difference for sure.

Yep. I have the GTI myself and have the Bluefin stage 1. I had the same issue though and it felt very little, if not no different at all and the DV is a known weak point. Had it replaced with the VW revision D for about £50 and as soon as I got in it again I knew I'd solved it. Theres no mistaking the difference if you ask me so if you can't notice it something is wrong somewhere and the DV is probably the best place to start.

Might be worth asking a member on the Vagcom thread to have a butchers first if your feeling frugal mate. That might highlight any faults -

Have a search for the guide on here as it can be a bit of an arse to change if your gonna do it yourself unless your tooled up etc.

Yup block 115 (requested vs actual boost).  As you're there also log block 106 for fuel rail pressure.
Scan the car for fault codes before you log it.
