MBC help..

okay so im wondering if this problem would be related to the mbc in anyway...

sometimes when im driving i can hit 20psi and hold it, but sometimes i will only hit like 17psi. also as i shift through the gears, i notice every gear i hit, i will drop some boost. so like in 2nd gear ill hit 19, 3rd ill hit 17 and 4th ill be at like 15...

im thinking this has something to do with the mbc, cause sometimes it doesnt do it, sometimes it does. and i know its not anything to do with the weather.

Oh my gosh... did you just said Turbo XS? is it the little tiny blue POS, it is the one that needs the allen wrench to ajust from the top right? . Get rid of it ASAP. I had it on my WRX and gave me nothing but issues. Get yourself a Halman or a Forged and you will never had issues.
