boost drop
Hey people, my car peaks at 25psi but then drops off to anywhere between 20-23 psi. It won't hold 25psi, would a boost controller cure this?

Is a boost controller the only thing thing I can try?

there is a trick i heard the other day off somebody on here, about a small vacuum pipe connected to the charge carrier which can hold boost.

It all depends. At what rpm does it drop off at? It maybe the turbo is simply running out of puff. 25psi to 23psi is hardly a problem anyway, u probably won't gain any more power.

The mod is taking the actuator feed from the crossover pipe instead of the compressor housing.

Maybe its just a weak Actuator? Is it a -31? Might be worth trying a -34.
