I have a slight problem please help

OK, i recently installed my boost controller and boost gauge, now if i have my car off for around 6-7 hours (not cold weather), the car runs like 10 psis under the what i have it set for, after it gets hotter or w.e , it gets back in buisness, is it that i have a cheap mbc, i payed 79.98 for a turbo xs standar boost controller, and 54.99 for the autometer boost gauge, both installed by a mechanic. thank you

The ball may be sticking inside of the MBC. Take it aparts and rub a little lithium grease on the ball so that it does not stick.

PS. take it apart slowly because there is a spring inside that will want to come flying out.

ya but this happened to me also before this installation, it felt alot slower after having it off for a long time, ( like if i would go to work and 8 hours later it would feel slow, i made a post about it but people said i was just getting used to the power, is it because i broke it in hard ?..

I think thats right...

The other day I jumped in my car and didn't give it time to warm up at all, and I had to get out into the intersection with some power and I never felt it before but the car felt like it had no boost. but as soon as i had one led bar thing on the temp display everything was back to normal. (I usually give my car atleast a min to warm up and I never had that happen)

I have run across almost a dozen Turbo XS boost controllers and none of them worked properly on the Evo...none of them.

im pretty sure its true. what sucks about that? its preventing your car from having problems in the long run. you shouldnt run your car hard til its warmed up anyway.
