Need advice Please help!
When I bought my Evo 9 i had them throw in the gauges for free, Mitsubishi installed them and i've gone to them for all my oil changes and its bone stock so its still under warranty. It's cooled down a lot here in Arizona and i've been hearing more engine noise than turbo noise i didnt think much of it but the other day on my way to work i looked at my boost gauge which has always hit 1.3 but as soon as it hit it dropped to 1.2 and even 1.1 sometimes, so i thought it was a boost leak. Me and my friends looked at all the lines and couldnt see anything loose or disconected.
The guy working on my car said he just got back from an evo class and said i should only be boosting to 12 psi and that my gauge will only be hitting like .5 or .6 bars from now on and that he thinks that my waste gate is causeing the problems.
Am i getting screwed over because it definetly sounds like it to me? Please let me know.

You do know that the stock boost is 20.3 psi.

Sounds like another thread from a couple of days ago. Guy had less boost and took it to the dealer who then told him he should only be boosting like 14 or 15psi. Take it to a dealer who actually knows something about Evos.
