boost problems
I got some problems with my boost on second turbo, it goes up to 10 psi at 5000 rpm but drops at higher revs, at 7000 rpm I only have 6 psi.
It is destroing all the fun with the new exhaust cause the car is now slower than last G-tech test with oem exhaust......
Can the catback exhaust cause the lack of boost?

There are quite a few long-termers on the forum that have used the G-tech and found it very accurate for 0-60 and ET. (It will read high on trap speed because it measures the instantaneous velocity at the 1/4 mile, not the average of last 60 feet like the track.)
Gzon: do you still have the stock pre-cat and main cat? They could be clogged. Also, check intercooler piping/y-pipe for leaks.

I got the pre and main cat on, if I make a downpipe, will I need an ecu? or will it work with just a Boost-control to get boost to normal?
