are you sure you are actually hitting boost then? Perhaps a charge pipe popped off without you knowing about it?

My boost gauge is off by 1-4psi, it shows higher on the boost gauge than in the hondata logs , sometimes I don't know which one to believe but I haven't got a chance to change out the gauge.

Use a vacuum pump to test maybe?
