Boost Question

Ok installed MBC Hallman Pro, set at 20 psi peak but boost drops down to 17 psi, is this normal????????? Al, is there any possible way with the reflash to hold more boost? What are sane boost levels on 93 octane? Maybe I have a boost leak or something? Where to look, thanks for the time.

Pro, maybe because the header gasket is not sealing properly? I bought a new gasket and will install it with some gasket grey thingy *lol* the thing that looks like glue or something.

To tell you my problem, the header in the part that is connected to the turbo has a small leak, is that causing the boost drop?

How did you connected your hallman?
I got mine taking the boost signal directlly from the Intake manifold, THis way is more acurate and dont changes with lossed due to temperature or gas

Also check all your conections and seale them well this was mi first mistake
