Dodgy sensor? Or just a erroneous reading.

Does it throw an EML? Any actual driving issues?

That doesn't seem high to me. Have the readings changed.

Well above high, almost certainly a dodgy sensor.

Is this some dodgy chinese scanner or why such strange terms ?

And as a static value without context...meaningless.

The temps are ok ish, depending on ambient at the time. The cooler the charge, the better, obviously. I wouldn't want to see them much higher than that at any given time.

That pressure reading is obviously random, it would have blown up in a heartbeat otherwise. Try another device to measure it.

Agree with this ^ smile and why are you concerned is it spouting over-boost DTC's or similar (it should be throwing codes) or are you just playing with a scanner? if no DTC then def what Stevie says
