Default Boosting 1-2psi *more* since Watkins Glen II
Ran in APR stock mode, too. Got EGT/MAF too high/max charge exceeded on way home in APR chip mode in 4th gear. Cleared codes, tighten hoses (not really loose). No codes. Boost gauge spikes quickly to 20 now in 4th. Did pressure test, no leaks I can tell.

Any suggestions to check? Just doesn't seem right to 'gain' boost after a track session.

Oh, and my oil sensor went during the event, but that can't effect boost...right?

maybe driving the car hard cleaned the carbon buildup around injectors?

Default I think that would be great if the case. Hitting 17.5-ish PSI in APR 93 oct...
during shifts (I'm a tip mind you), pops to like 19+ *very* quickly, and then tappers to a good level. I need to VAG to see how requested looks.

Default My guess would be a boost leak similar to what Bauer did... Did you pull the belly pan while..
doing your pressure test? Check those IC's.

Didn't pull the belly pan yet. I'll check that next. BTW, what did Bauer do?
