Re: boost problems..
What else are you running? Stock ECU? Boost controller? It could be a boost cut off or fuel cut off built into the stock ECU.

Re: boost problems..
check your spark plugs.....make sure its the right gap, and that they are still in good shape.

Re: boost problems..
how many LBS are you pushing. Very good chance you need bigger injectors.

Re: boost problems..
no it's not acting like it's leaking. it'll pull hard as hell until the engine warms up.
