Does it do it all the time,when cold or warmed up?Coolant full?
Haha, last day of 100 DOD I had a leak in my line to my EBC (due to heat). It was seeing no boost at the sensor and keeping the wastegate shut. 28.6 psi in an RB...? NUTS. Still had good AFR's and everything is living, lol.

Lucky!
I had a similar thing happen when I blew the engine in the coupe,except the bottom end couldn't handle it.I had run the reference line using rubber hose as temporary thing,fully intending to replace it with braided line.It rubbed through at one spot and blew out.The ECU saw no boost,so it never opened the solenoid=max boost.The data log looked awesome with boost steadily rising with RPM,then all of a sudden boost falls off completely,followed by RPM rising rapidly.........Then dropping to zero very,very quickly,haha.
Overboost protection is no good when it doesn't know you be overboosting.

Haha sounds good! Dad told me he sent you a picture of her wearing the santa hat.

I feel like I want to film my entire life now that I have a GoPro!
