thats strange steve, did u check all ur vacum lines and such? , sounds like the wastegate gets stuck wideopen then recovers some and holds boost, possibly problem with the selenoid valve? or actuator?

Do you have a mbc you could throw in and set? I would try that first just to make sure your ebc is working properly, if the mbc still does the same then you know your ebc is working ok and can move onto the next thing to check. But the obvious is the boost controller.....

Yeah, i am going to check all vaccum lines this weekend. Its very odd as even when i set my boost down low (12psi) my ebc sets off the warning. I guess i'm building boost really quick. Hmm, thanks for the help boys. If anyone else has had similiar problems, please chime in.

I would also concur on the vacum lines but check easier stuff first.

Could it be the BOV is not working properly and getting stuck?

Thats what i have been thinking. When i am slowly accelerating its fine. But the second i mash the throttle the problem occurs.

Do a proper boost leak test, that will give you your answer.....I bet you have a leak from what you just described.
