Making Boost, but down on Power

[Peter Schulz]

Tom:

Code corruption is NOT the likely culprit.

You need to be very explicit in what you have replaced.

Are there any codes?  Has your mileage decreased?
Does disconnecting the MFTS improve boost?

Have you done a pressure test of the boost hoses and IC?

This is all part of diagnosing the issue....
