Are you running a check valve between the throttlebody and MAP sensor??

Also, whats your engine setup and what year?

the stock map can only handle 10psi, so if youre over that, that may be causing it. missing links and fmu's are the worse kind tuning aids. You need to be running a safc at least, crome or hondata wold be better though

Boost leak?! need some more information about the vehicle to be able to figure out the cause of the problem.
