Boost Issues, and thoughts?

I have a good pattern besides my spike but I can handle that with porting, pellets, profec. Anyways, my car feels very good out of the hole but seems to even out at around 7 psi. I have looked and have found no leaks, the pressure stays on the gauge perfectly. I seem to have a "whoosh" sound that comes from the passenger side as well with part throttle. Almost like a CRV letting out pressure. I have checked the hoses on that and checked the intercooler piping, and the coupler that connects the y-pipe to the intercooler pipe and all seems well. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Even out around 7 psi meaning no more than 7 psi? You said you had a good pattern?

Have you checked the CRV to make sure the spring actually can hold the pressure?

Mine had the same pattern 7psi. Checked everything finally got to my specialist and he checked everything as well. Found only a minor leak in my BOV at first but still I was not convinced. Checked turbos and there was the problem. I had to have them pulled out and totally reserviced. The engineer fond a microscopic damage on the main shaft that weared off the bearing.

This happned 3 weeks ago. Today I should have my first test drive after reinstallment.

Check you CRV valve, though its vacuum line may not be cracked, the valve itself may be faulty.

So what does your boost pattern look like? (this is important when you want an answer to your question)
