Default Would failing DV cause boost to drop faster than "normal"?

In other words, requested/actual is, say, 2050/2080, so request drops to say 1960, but actual goes as far down as 1820, and then goes back up on what was the normal boost curve.

My issue: weird dip in boost from 3800-4200 (yes, its me again) that never happened before the winter, trying to resolve where it could be coming from. no boost leak (I believe), new Kevlar TBB (problem before that), and pulled the APR ECU from the battery to reset the adaption channels (DAP suggestion).

Driving me crazy! No DTC, or anything else. Doing a block 004 run in the next day or two (AW suggestion).

Any ideas?

Default Could be the weather

1.5psi isn't something to worry too much about.

Hmm, I think the problem will be solved by you buying my 2 brand new Bailey DVs.

Default O RLY? Got any pics of the CF engine covers?

Just shoot me an e-mail. Oh, and is that T-box of the Flashloader variety?
