no boost

My 2005 evo seems to have lost a lot of power, It feels like the turbo doesn't work..

I have been driving it easy like they said for engine break in, but when I accelerate on to a highway it doesn't seem to have the boost it use to..

I took it into service today and they can't find anything wrong with it..
It feels like the turbo doesn't last as long or charge as fast as it use to..
it has about 550 miles on it now...

no gauge yet, but you would think the mitsubishi Techs would find something like that..
they checked it on the computer and test drove it.

A boost gauge is a very important mod, plus I dont trust any dealers, I remember my dealer said they looked at my car when it had a problem, and the car never left the spot where I parked it. Also you ever consider you just may be used to the car, same thing happened to me, after that I just realized it was time to mod. For a peace of mind, make your own leak test, or have a local performance shop do it.
