Ryan, I checked out your website but I didn't see it. Do you guys do a boost leak check?

Thanks a ton dude.

Nevermind :D

After six long grueling months, I FINALLY figured it out.

Visual inspection failed. Carb cleaner failed. It was frustrating when the boost bounced between 10-15psi. Finally fed up, I took off the TMIC and the top of my transmission was DIRTY and covered in oil. My TMIC always sat weird and the rubber o-piece that connected it to the intake manifold was always cock eyed.

I put it back on, made sure everything was good and took it for a test drive. Peaks at ~18, pulls strong and steady at 15! It feels like I just did a significant mod to gain more power lol.
