im in need of help...

ok i have a 06 mr and yes i wanted the cool noise and wasted money on a bov that is not needed the greddy rs. i think i had it adjusted to tight but i started to notice my gauge wasn't showing full boost 1.3 bars...so i took it off and put the stocker back on. i still have the problem. full throttle i get a bouncy 1-1.2 bars. i noticed the lower the rpm the more boost and as the rpms rise the more boost i lose. im goin to do a leak test on the ic piping this weekend but if anyone thinks its something other than a leak pllleaase let me know. thanks!

Just pull off the negative terminal of your battery and leave it off for 30 seconds or so to reset the ECU.

It may or may not. It won't make the problem worse so it's worth a try.
