Default Losing a considerable amount of Boost in Upper RPM range.

Okay--

I have a strange problem that I am trying to trace down.

First off.. The car is Stage2+ which just means that I am running:
AMS Chips
Piggie pipes
No Cats
Borla Exhaust
.

Here is the problem though.
In the lower RPM--say till about 4K the car boost properly--spikes to about 18-19psi, then gradually tappers down--not much, but then after 4K, it tends to tapper down to around 10-11psi. Do you think this could be a small boost leak???? I did a pressure test and could not find any leaks, so now I am at odds to what the problem could be.. Any insight will help.

Thanks in advance..

Default He is saying that in order to be considered a stage 2+ you need to have better intercoolers. Having

cats or not does not determine what stage you are. And please make use of the subject line at all times.

Default I thought...

1) chip
2) chip + exhaust
2+)chip + exhaust + downpipes/piggies

but no, that doesn't relate to his question.

Default log requested vs. actual boost?

I don't remember the bank off the top of my head, though...

definitely check the N75, DVs, vac lines.
