Default Hmmm could that explain my 150mbar deviation between requested and produced boost levels? Any other

symptoms? My DV does not make any honking sounds that so many have mentioned, but I do get a little extra hisssss from the intake when in boost.

Default Thanks guys. My dealer said all is 100% (yeah right). May be I'll go and get an OEM DV

swap it with mine and see what happens. If boost comes back -> problem found, if not then back to the drawing board. I will replace the DV with a performance one soon anyhow, but I still want to have a good working stock one.
