if you have the greddy profec II, did you switch to low boost setting and not know it? try switching to high boost if you arent already on it and see if you get anymore boost.

No I have had the car for over 2 years now I am sure I am use to it by now.
No it is not the boost controller being set to low or high.
It something I guess you would have to expirence to undstand.
It is not normal what so ever.
It is like struggaling to make boost.
I have never had a problem like this before.
I have cheked for a boost leak but i dont think this is the issue I have had one before and this is not like that.
Even with a boost leak the car will still make boost just not near as much.
This is almost as if the car was NA and not turbo.

It is like having a NA motor until you acctually slam the gas pedal down.
Even at that point it is not making much boost.
When you drive the car there is a smooth line when boost kicks in it thorws you back into the seat. Mine is not doing that anymore.
It is struggling to boost. I have checked all the Lines that I can think of and everything looks fine.
There is something definatly not right I just wish I new more about cars so I could explain it better.

If these make a diffrence I have the following Mods: I have Greddy Profec, RMR intake, Emanage, HKS Carbon Exhast, RMR delete pipe, and HKS down Pipe. some others but these are the only ones that would make power.
See, if you said that after the first time I asked, I wouldn't have made the responses like I have. Is the car at least making ~14lbs of boost and NO more? If that's the case, the EBC may be malfunctioning causing you to run on wastegate spring pressure. If the car can't even make that much boost you may have a major boost leak. Does the car smoke while driving, has it been using oil lately?

do you have a boost gauge? what is the max boost you hit at WOT at about 4 or 5K rpm?
