Look, some people are Dbags, but you really didn't seem to read the posts that weren't. People are telling you that you have a problem, probably a boost leak, maybe your car wasn't tuned right by its previous owner ( I don't remember from the OP if it was used) But rather than feeding the trolls, you probably should take some time and go talk to a tuner about the issue, because those are not normal boost levels, especially with mods.

That is also very odd, stock boost is around 20, and with full bolt ons and no tune, your car should have been overboosting because of the free flowing environment, not underboosting by 1 or 2 PSI. Though your tune seems to have fixed that, since 26 is about what you should be at with full bolts and a "safe" tune.

Go to a reputable shop, get your car boost leak tested, and please, I repeat PLEASE, do yourself a HUGE favor and don't mess with the boost...! Leave that to a knowledgeable tuner. Meaning behind that is, get a tune. Modding your Evo X will noticeably throw off your engine's performance due to not being properly tuned.
chill out guys. this forum has a pretty active NA lancer section and a lot of guys start there.
Check your wastegate. specifically, check that the actuator is threaded correctly. sounds like you'r running off spring pressure. your boost gauge could also just be broke. get a tactrix and log to see what your ecu's seeing for boost, then check wgdc.

I do really appreciate those who are trying to help. Thanks for the advice!
No, it's not altered- that's just the tune. Cobb stg 1 hits 23.9. Perrin is sketchy, a lot of tuners told me their tune sucks and is dangerous for an OTS map and say Cobb OTS is the way to go.

I figured out what my issue was. I forgot to take the boost pill out of the old hose and did not stick it into the new one. My buddy helped me out and now the car is boosting normally. I'm calling church automotive today to make an appointment to get my car tuned. It's boosting around 24-26 psi right now. Just glad I figured it out. Thanks again to all who tried to help me out!
