boost drops off at 6k?
I am having problems holding boost above 6k. I have my boost controller set in at 22lbs, but after 6k in about every gear the boost drops to about 17lbs? I've been reading about people having problems with the snorkel, and i am using a cone air filter in place of the stock airbox and have removed the snorkel completely. Should i put this back on, even with my aftermarket intake?

it is supposed to drop off that much? I was thinking i had a boost leak of some sort. I went out to the track and ran a 12.91@108mph on my race tune with a 1.8 60ft. I talked to John about it, and he said it should be trapping well above 110. It just doesnt feel like its pulling any harder after 6k.

my hunch is you have a minor boost leak.... so im gonna assume u have the 03 evo..... so go buy the metal bov (jdm or evo9).. will help the taper slightly and also get some tbolt clamps for all ur IC piping atleast

this was on race gas, 100 octane unleaded. I have the turbosmart dualport bov, but i have it set to full recirc. I did a boost leak check last week and didn't find any leaks.
