i'm giving it part throttle around 3-4K rpm in i don't know what gear, 4th or 5th or 6th, and my boost gauge just shoots right up.

this is new. it used to take full throttle, wtf is going on here?

i'll do a TBA before i start it in the morning, see if it gets any better.

you might have a german midget underneath your dash pulling away at your wiring harness or blowing really hard into your boost gauge. I would honestly let a mongoose stay in your car for awhile untill it eats your midget. no need to thank me.

no but i've got a very weird boost leak that i suspect may have something to do with my wastegate and perhaps that's influencing it.

are you chipped?

ive got GIAC and from memory, other tunas modify the throttle sensitivity on tuned programs.

i can use about a quarter to half throttle and it will boost up to full (15+psi) in the higher gears. K04ed too.

maybe?
