Default Update on my funky boost issue... I CAN boost to 18PSI (where I should) but >>>

I can't just floor it and get there, if I do that the boost shoots up fast, stutters even at 10-15PSI and then shoots down to 5PSI and holds there.....but if I control the boost with the gas pedal, meaning I don't floor it, but ease into the boost slower with the gas pedal then I can boost and hold 18PSI (where I should be)....

Any ideas what controls the boost level when you floor it, seems like that is what is broken

Default What software are you running?

Have you been re-flashed? I'm sure you went over this one 100x on the forum already but if not I was just chiming in : )

I've been told over and over again to reflash with GIAC everytime I have a problem, but it always turns out to be a vac leak that was in extreme hiding on me. After deleting all the extra emissions systems I haven't had issues like that in months. Hell I don't even run a boost gauge anymore! But maybe I will soon, I miss it, it was entertaining for me and passengers - Also drunk people when it beeps at them (the notification of peak limit) - "whats that mean?" "well my cars getting too hot and it's going to implode, if I get you home fast enough you can live."

Nah I've only had that happen once. And it wasn't nearly that funny.
