Default 10psi? WTF????

ok i did a 0-60 in my car, and in second gear it went to the normal 15psi-17psi range but then dropped to 10psi or so for the majority of the rpm range. why is this happening? it only does it in mid-high rmps, like i go from 40mph-60mph in 3rd at 16psi all the time and it holds at 16

why would it hold 16psi or so in all other gears ? i havnt redlined 3rd 4th or 5th tho but i floor it through every gear and get the full boost.

[:@] Ahhh this is so aggrivating. cuz thats like a huge power loss right? loosing 6 psi?

i would have to say that it holds 16 untill the 4,000 or so range, i want to say a lil more but idk. I did a 0-60 today cuz its felt like i was lacking power last time so this time i just payed attention to the boost gauge and it stayed at 16 for only a short period of time

you still on the stock BOV? becuase those are junk and it might be leaking. Or you have a leak somewhere else in the intercooler piping. It really does sound like boost leak to me

EDIT: OK next time ill read your sig. first Try adjusting the BOV then and see if that helps

anything over 15psi on the stock T25 is a waste anyways....that turbos flow isnt efficient past 15 psi. Its basically like a hair dryer in the high boost levels lol. Newayz it does sound like a boost leak somewhere. It could even be a wastegate problem.....
