Boost Problems When Warms Up

[CSEclipse]

heres my problem i start the car and let it half way warm up for a minute and my car boost fine im running 18psi when the car starts to warm up and it goes down to 15psi and seems to spool up slower especially in 5th gear... i did a boost leak check and its only leaking out of the intercooler... when the weather started to break it started doing this it seems like, what could be my problem??? im getting a 3 inch apexi downpipe today but i dont think it will help the problem maybe spool quicker...

what size injectors are you running? is it possible your FMIC is getting heat soaked?

Only? How much pressure were you able to pump into the system and for how long did it hold that pressure?

i was told they were denso 660 when i bought the car until i got my AFC then realized they are just 450 but they had the same color as the 660 so thats how i got fooled, it dosent hold very long at all... ill do it later and let you know exactly how long thanks for the replies
