Bad pressure sensor, or just no pill?

So I installed a aftermarket boost guage. I have been having random hesitiations from 6k+, where its like fuel cut kicks in. I finally noticed it enough that I was able to compair the aftermarket the the stock. When my aftermarket would pull 6 pounds, which for now is max due to a vac leak- my stock guage would creep another 3+ pounds, hitting fuel cut I would assume. Now the stock guage is sitting completly solid at 6pounds.

Is my pressure sensor bad you think, or mabey the fact I dont have a restrictor pill anymore?

what do you ask for at the dealer when you want to get a new pill?

Is it just called a pressure sensor restrictor pill?

someone in the forsale section just said you can pickup a vacuum restrictor from autozone that does the same thing. Is this correct?

that's about right, wait until you have to replace the block - exhaust manifold and turbo - manifold gaskets.. Contact Scrap_fc, he'll hook you up on some copper gaskets..
