Default Just installed APR 5.0 but I'm having some problems.

Installed the ECU, took the car out to warm it up, then I tested it out. Let me start by saying my car ran perfectly fine with the stock ECU in. With the chip, sometimes it will only get to 12psi, then cut down to 10-11 and sit there. Other times, it will hit 13-14psi then taper down very quickly to 11-12psi. The needle on the boost gauge also starts shaking and vibrating. The car held boost fine with the stock ECU. I'm going to check for boost leaks tomorrow, but in the meantime, does anyone have any other ideas?

Default Boost leak. You may have a small leak that swells with the added pressure or DV's

that are failing past the stock boost. Pressure testing is probably the best approach.

Default I agree with Verruckt. More boost may make a small leak more apparent.

Did you do the Throttle adaptation?

Agreed. TBBs, torn under the clamp, will do that. BTW, you can tell a man by his humor (sig).
