if you are on the stock t25 then that will happen regardless of what mods you have. The t2small just can't hold boost int he upper rpm's. second you really shouldn't be running that turbo at that high off boost becuase it is just blowing hot air and will be hurting performance more than helping.

keep it at 15psi. that is what most people on this board would consider almost maxing out the t25. where in cali are you from?

I ran mine at 19psi for a year and was just fine. Just make sure the fuel system can keep up (it should with the baby garret)

alright.. so i turned down the boost, to around 14... but once it hits 13 it suddenly drops to maybe around 11 or somethin... and i alreadtried tightening the bov. i don't have to tighten the bov all the way right?, could there be a leak in any of the piping..? ... could i be the boost controller.... i checked the tubes.. and there seam to be no leak...

1: do a leak test
2: the t25 does not hold high rpm boost, so it will drop off at high rpm's. its not gonna stay constant all the way to 7,000 rpm's.

maybe after he is told this twice he will listen to it and stop thinking that he has a boost leak.
