I'm having an issue with boost on my 2013 PP. I have a 93 octane tune, 3 bar map, and drop in k&n. I hooked up the tuner and I'm only getting a peak of 6psi under hard acceleration. Most of the time it won't go over 3psi. What could cause this?

Possible boost leak? I would take off the appearance cover and look at all the hoses carefully, clamps or no clamps. Some of them have a bad habit of pulling loose or popping off altogether.

If it's not the clamps, I would suggest next looking at the factory, electric, blow off valves.

One, or both, may be faulty.

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked the hoses and they all appear to be on right. I gave them each a little tug to see if they would pull off. Since they didn't I'm assuming there is proper tension on the clamps.

Is there a easy way to check them? Would venting to atmosphere help?
