Default Turbo hits 9lbs then backs down to 7lbs! What the heck is going on? Only happened after got the ca

I'm running a Tial 35mm wastegate with a AVC-D boost controller from Apex. The car is set for 9lbs of boost and scrambles at 14lbs. Even when I hit my scramble boost button, it goes from 14lbs to 10lbs a second later. The scramble is set for 10 seconds. Anybody know what's going on?

Check and make sure your BOV isn't leaking the boost....sounds like a possibility

I had this problem until I replaced my cat, and got a bigger exhaust.

that's what I was going to say. i had that problem before. also check all your lines and couplings, you might have a leak somewhere.

Does it do this when you take the boost controller out of the loop? Meaning will it maintain a constant boost using the wastegate alone?
