Default Why or how can i stop my ECU from going into limp mode?

first off i notice that when flooring second gear and third sometimes my boost gauge needle starts to drop in pressure well @ full throttle till redline, is that normal (seems like it's bleeding)? i purchased a forge valve and thought the problem would go away, but it still happend.

secondly, i notice only when i cosistintly go into boost, my boost will cut in half and limit itself, instead of it going to 1.0psi like normal, it will only go to 0.5psi.
Now the weird thing is if i restart the car, it will boost back up to 1.0psi.

MODS:
giac chip
exhaust
hks power flow

have you thought that it might be the aftermarket intake and not the chip?

Default Still sounds like your BPV is leaking. The car will see that and go into limp mode when the boost

level falls enough below requested boost.

It could be an intercooler leak. Check your hoses.
