OUCH! stock you're not supposed to boost that much!! 17-19psi's should be max boost tapering down to 16-17psi be redline. you probably have a faulty solenoid valve

It's normal to peak at 21psi. If you have problems with boost or better - lack of it, check your hoses, there have been posts that some hoses are not clamped tight and come off and you lose boost. Try doing a search.

the post a while back could have been a wastgate problem and what you probably have now is a boost leak problem.. check your hoses, bov and anything else where air flows

Well i checked all clamps, hoses etc. It does it when it wants to it seems like it. If it was a hose wouldnt it do it all the time.

What are you using for a boost gauge? Sure it's correct?

maybe its a wastegate problem resulting in a overboost which then results in boost cut.
