Well, I'd search but I have been slammed and continue being so I'll post anyway.

NORMALLY I run in sport mode but tonight decided to drop it into sport sharp. I was watching my boost gauge and noticed I was only reaching 10psi of boost, which was odd since normally when I was in sport sharp I was hitting ~14psi. Temps were ~10* F and I do have silencer removed.

I havent noticed any other boost leak style issues nor am throwing any codes unless they are soft. Is this a case of a bad flash? or is the computer limiting boost due to cold temps? (Or is it a learned ECU behavior, as in 97% time in sport mode topping 10psi? )

Any help would be great, thanks.

To rule out a boost gauge problem, are you seeing 10psi on a boost gauge or on the ap?

13.9 max on stage 1 93 flash, 20.1 max on stage 2 93 Cobb map. 20.1 might have just been a spike since I seem to be running 17~18 most of the time. The car pulls like a mofo now that I've done stage 2.

Hmmm, could be boost gauge issue actually nwo that you mention it. Last week it started "creeping" up on its own like a connection issue.

i can only hit 17.4 off a boost gauge/turbo timer combo (blitz) but some guys are hitting 18.4 - reading off the AP. i should try to read off the AP sometime though...see if the boost gauge is off.
i'm stage 2 93 octane as well

I am stage 2 91 octane, I have hit 17psi peak in 4th gear. In 3rd about 16.8. in 2nd i hit just over 15psi and 1st i think about 14 something. This is all read of the AP guage, so i don't know how accurate it is. I am getting a protune this week so hopefully i get get the first 2 gears up in boost. I went from stage 0 to stage 2 so i am not sure what stage 1 boost reads.

The one day I checked it, on a 43-degree F day, I was consistently hitting 14.5 max on my Stage 1, as read off my AP.
