Wont go past 15 pounds of boost?!
I put the car in third and let it go to around 4k then i gun it. and it spikes around 15 and hold like 14 or 13. it does the same in any gear and from a dig. u guys think it might be a boost leak? o and i got a ****ed up sensor. so its giving me the check engine light. its the senson that come attached to the mass airflow wire. i dont know if that has anything to do with it? i made the car run open boost to see if it would go higher and it didnt?
my mods are: SBR MBC, 3" megan turbo back, agp intercooler, turbo xs intercooler pipes.
anyone know what the problem is?

If you are running an MBC, then you shouldn´t need the solenoid ports hooked up to the boost/vacuum hoses. As long as it´s plugged in to the electrical harness you should be O.K.

+1^ and make sure you check the WG inlet to make sure its not bent. I had the same thing happen to me and thought I routed MBC incorrectly, but I actually bent the WG actuator inlet. And ummm once MBC is in, then boost solenoid doesn't even matter..
