7-7-7 boost pattern
so my car does a 7-7-7 boost pattern most of the time in 3rd gear. Once in awhile it will hit a 10-8-10 pattern, but it used to run 14-12-14 all the time. I searched through the faq and found this:
Missing pills for Wastgate and/or Turbo Pre-Control Actuators.
Wastegate and Turbo Pre-Control Solenoids are elctrcially unplugged.
As a possible cause. I have no idea where these are so if you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

only thing i did was remove the hard elbow and intercooler pipes from the uim to the intercooler. i checked those over and they all seem to be sealed properly. I did notice that my 02 sensor isnt plugged in. And i cant find a wire leading anywhere near it. I have a PFC installed, but i dont know if the 02 sensor is still required.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you have to either buy a seperate boost controller (I just use a Blitz boost controller) or buy the boost controller kit for the power fc to get more boost? With the factory pills out you will only see 7 psi of boost (wastegate spring pressure).

thats usually what a boost controllers base is set at...
i had a boost leak that was all 6's ...and had one before that was all 7's...
can't remember which was which ...but i ended up replacing the BOV hose and the y-pipe coupler....
the coupler wasn't ripped just worn and beat to hell
good luck
