I dont even know a title for this
when im accelerating my car as trouble building boost at 1 pound and 5 pounds. if i put my foot into it. it lags a little. but it builds boost perfect right to 15 pounds. sometimes it doesnt get to 15 it may stop at 12 pounds. I have a walbro255 and ams FPR drop in k&n and the car is untuned.?

What form of boost control are you using? Do a boost leak test. If there's no boost leaks check your snorkel on the intake box. Make sure it's fastened down with the 2 push in screws in the front. If that's fine check your cat. When my cat went out it caused a clog in my exhaust and really choked the turbo. I couldn't boost past 11 psi. Check those items first then report back haha. Do it in this order though
1.check snorkel
2.boost leak test
3.check cat
To be clear, by snorkel I mean the ram air scoop that slides into the intake box at the top and feeds air from the front.

Why did you buy new plugs without checking the things I recommended first? You might have just wasted money. Might have been better to spend that money on making a boost leak tester or purchasing one. Check the 3 things I told you as those could be the cause and easy to fix and most important, FREE to fix. Check them and we can go from there.
I had the snorkel problem I would build about 10-15psi, and then when I would get up to about 30mph the snorkel would suck itself into the hood causing boost to instantly drop to 5psi.
