    ok, a few months ago i got my car pro-tuned by the great S.S. up at batlground. for the first week the car was perfect, more power than i thought i would get, loved it. then i had a check engine light come on, i guess the map wasn't set for no cats or something like that, then another, something dealing with the actuator arm a, "i think". but since then, the car just hasn't hit the 19 psi that it was tuned for.

    the other day i thought about some of the maps that came with my a.p. v2, the stage 2, i reflashed my ecu, and everything lines up. i get the full boost of 15 psi in 3rd gear. but i wasnt sure why the cobb map works right but im having so many problems with the other map. S.S. even made me a map with the engine light disabled for that code, but still no boost, i lost his number so im not able to get in touch with him, and until the funds come in. im not able to afford another tune anyway.

    i was going to check for leaks, but would it be worth it. if the car runs 15 psi with no leaks, would 19 leak?

    also, would getting a after market bov hurt me any?

    simply find a post by him somewhere here and his cell is in his sig.
    When my ebcs was flaking out I had boost issues also had issues when the vac line from the ebcs to the WG actuator was no zip tied.

    ss will usually take your map and make edits and email you back ... what you do is email him a log of your car.. and he'll get it done!
    PM him on here

    and yes a bov would hurt.

    I wouldnt install the aftermarket BOV.

    Send a PM to SS, siegelracing on these parts, and ask him to look it over with you. SS will definitely set you right.
