Default Yet another boost problem. Ahhhh!!!

Ok, I am the one the posted about a week ago about how my turbo was be ridiculously loud when spooling up and the car didnt feel like it should when under boost. Now when i boost i dont feel much if any power from the turbo when WOT, but when I only go partial throttle I can feel the boost like I should and it holds steady at 7 psi which is where I have it set. But when WOT it feels like ****, but it shows 7 psi but sometimes will go up to about 10, but then sometimes it will only go to 5 psi. What the hell is wrong with my car??? Could it be bad plugs? I have checked countless times for boost leaks but have found NONE AT ALL. Could it be my turbo? Its brand new, so im not sure thats the problem. but who knows. Also when Im in the car every once in awhile Ill get a whiff of gasoline. wtf is that? please help anyone!!!!!!!!! Ive had it with this thing

the gas thing is common, your problem is more than likely in your tune, if i was you i'd get some datalogging sessions done, sounds as if ur rich up top and can pull back some fuel and timing, vary it and datalog

if its going to 8psi then 10 then back to 5 im guessing you have some leaks. im pretty sure this is a mechanical problem so far not in the tune. but if you can find anything mechanically then try your software
