Default After turning up the boost machine, can't boost past 15PSI anymore even without it

I recently put in the boost machine, followed the steps turning it up little by little. Got to the sweet spot holding at 21PSI, and the day after the car started fluttering once I got up around 15PSI, and then drop down and hold 5PSI. CEL would flash a few times, and then go away, checked for codes and there were none.

So I pulled the boost machine off, and still does the same thing now. I turned off my APR chip, and car holds 10PSI or so fine. If I don't boost much, the car drives with no problems.

I have recent new coilpacks and plugs, TB done, checked DV and it seems ok, hoses seem ok.
