It will be the first time ever i started my car in morning and just didnt wait to warm it up till its regular running temp. I was getting late from work so the warmup the time between turning the key and taking it out of my garage didnt take more than 4 mins.

I kept cruising under 1500 rpm untill the temp guage showed me the right regular reading. Now on the main road when i tried to WOT it , the Boost Guage showed me 0.5bar (from Stand Still till 6000rpm) which isnt the case everyday. It always shows me the reading just under 1.0Bar when it hit pedal to the floor in normal condition.

Well i was worried all day, thinking about it. After work i got back to the car, started the engine and this time i waited for like 7 or 8 mins so that the temp should rise upto the normal running temp. I drove it back to home while WOT'ing it time to time and it showed the accurate reading i-e under 1 Bar, till home.

Went out to see some friends late at same day, and started the car while engine was cold again and it showed weird 0.5 Bar readings once again. I have to stop the car for 15 or 20 mins and turn off the engine, and turn it on again to get back my 10psi factory mentioned stock turbo reading. And i also felt lack of some power while car was running at 0.5bar boost .
I removed the pipe joint coming from the turbos to the intercooler to check if any turbos are leak but the that pipe was dry as ever.

I asked another friend and he scared me that this is how a rotary starts to screw you slowly.

What could be the problem?

Search for "double throttle." This will not open until the car is warm.

It sounds to me like it was not warm enough when you got the low readings, and hadn't opened when you floored it.

Like i said, even not waiting for the engine to warm up till its normal temp i kept cruising under 1500rpm.

I floored the pedal after 10 mins while car was running, thats when i noticed boost guage needle wasnt crossing the 0.5 Bar mark till my office. Its almost 30 mins drive from my home. So rest of the 20mins it wasnt just giving me the accurate normal reading.

Later while getting back home and warming it up they way it should be, the readings were perfect all the way.

the problem with boost gauges are they can make you paranoid, just keep driving the car and see if the problem repeats itself.

Well if its the boost guage, then its the first time ever it showed wrong reading.
As for my satisfaction i DID checked the pipe coming towards the intercooler from turbos and it way dry, not even a least sign of oil in there.

And theres one thing more, the fuel was at its very end close to its warning light but i filled it before it should come on.
