Default boost question
my car was hitting 21psi of boost on the way home after work. it would spike and then back off and start surging. or it would be totally normal i cant make it do it. anybody heard of this. normal boost is about 15-17 psi

BPV, N75

Default here are a few things to check....
1.) actual vs requested boost
2.) throwing any codes?
3.) N75
4.) Vac leaks
5.) try swapping the BPV with a friend
