P2 boost drop off

sup guys...i got my car reflashed at the sept 5th norcal meet, and when i hit 6k rpm the boost drops to 10 psi...kinda feels like the car catches on something....is this normal? how can i fix this?...otherwise, up until 6k the car pulls like a ****....its definitely worth every penny!!! thanks for the great deal guys!

Yeah, thanks for showing up to the meet! If I remember correctly, you have an aftermarket BOV? That would be the first place to start. With your new found increased boost, the BOV may not be holding well enough.
If you have any questions give us a call or come on by. Our Labor Day BBQ is a burning!

was that today? monday? damnit i had to work..... why is it the people that have labor jobs are the ones that work on labor day? they should have a white-collar day so all us retail cronies can have the day off haha j/k


well im sure you have some customers running the HKS SSQV....what should i check on it to see if it leaks? it only leaks when i go from a slow rolling start and mash on it, but when im merging on the freeway, it goes all the way to redline no problems

WOW! Looks like super modified day at the WORKS.

(Funny thing is, I was doin' the same thing in the shop yesterday, plus a re-alignment of the front end).

this happened to me not too long ago (ask the works crew) we were trouble shooting the heck out of my car until we remove the horn from the intake box. so i out back my aftermarket intake to get max performance.

...so thats how they make it look like they have so many shop cars!

Good to know about the snorkel problem, no problems here. Even as many times as I've checked the filter and moved things around and even removed then replaced it, the snorkel still fits good.
