Did you give it another road test. Could it be a type of fuel cut?

You check your wastegate? Mine came loose at the track and I lost some boost.

Go outside...check your wastegate and BOV. If it still pulls check your boost gauge.

What kind of bov do you have? Mine broke and stayed open, my turbo would spool but the bov let all the boost out, that might be it.

yea i'm stumped on this. We were tuning, did a pull, it hits 12psi and then the boost just starts dropping off throughout the rest of the pull. Charge pipes seem to all be connected solid, turbo still spins fine, we 2stepped the car to see if any air came outa the bov and it didnt. Wastegate isn't opening prematurely. Its weird.
