I pressure tested last night, but will do it again tonight with bumper and pan off.
Thanks!

And I'd have much more information to work with if I could quit troubleshooting my ECUx and actually USE it to troubleshoot my F***ing car.

Default Damn ECUx *sigh*

Sounds like a leak that is only showing up at higher boost levels. I'd do a visual check and/or pressure test.

Default 2nd - think you already had a BiPipe right ? Sounds like a leaky IC clamp

sometimes they only leak when under pressure.

If so, might be time for Breeze constant torque clamps, Royal Brass in North San Jose stocks them ;-)

Default Not right now. I've been trying to get my ECUx working...

before spending a whole lot of time logging.
What's MAF reading got to do with out-of-spec boost?

Default That thing sounds like a great product. Yet everyone is having problems

and APR hasn't really done much to fix their software. Sad..

Default Stock bipipes, AMS TBB. Pressure tested last night...

and like I said will pull off the front end and do a comprehensive test tonight.
Maybe all this airbox swapping has sucked some fod and I have a good excuse for Jacob-Snails.

FWIW, I had the same symptoms and replacing the N75 corrected it. I had dicked with the adj. screw.

Default Thanks... my car's previous owner had turned N75 way up (1/3 turn), and I had to fool with it to...

quell the MASSIVE throttle cut when I went Stg3. I didn't even know it was tweaked until then.
Sounds like it couldn't hurt to replace the N75 no matter what.
