As for your boost drop in 3rd, I would recheck all the upper I/C pipe clamps including the BOV clamps. I read a thread about the stock BOV clamp being very loose from the factory and when I checked mine, it sure was. I could practically pull my BOV out of the piping. I would loosen all the clamps and make sure they have a sure fit on each pipe and retighten them all. If you have upgraded pipes, I suppose that could be another factor for the boost drop.
Another thing to look at is to make sure there isn't a leak in the vacume hose for your boost gauge. Where did you tap into for the vacume? I ran mine from the vacume off the throttle body because it makes the most sense to read the boost off the point closest to where it enters the engine.
These are just theories of mine. For an expert diagnosis, I would consult Al.
these are also available through the online store at http://store.dynoflash.com
