Anyone deal with a boost leak yet from their tune? I've been noticing a stuttering like effect in WOT in 3-4th gear. Today it was really obvious when the stuttering was accompanied by the vent to atmosphere 3 times through the entire rpm band in 3rd. I'm hoping it's just the DV. I'm getting a CP in the next week or so hoping that will eliminate some of the possibilities.

I don't think dashCmd app is super accurate, but I don't think it's too far off. According to the boost gauge it's telling me I'm making 19 PSI. It feels more like 12-14, but either way wouldn't that be enough to cause a leak? And even more so with my DV?

In my E90 in map 5 I pushed 18PSI. Stacked with a flash a constant 15PSI, and I never had a diverter valve leak. Some people on the forums did so I guess I was the lucky one. However, the E90 DV went to the CP as where the N55 DV is a weak little component that sits on the turbo.

I will reach out to them GSR Autosport. In the meantime CP and DV has been ordered.

I know you posted this a while back but I'm having the exact same issues, what ended up being the fix? Did the spark plugs do the trick or was it a boost leak?

I know this is an old post but I recently been having the same problem after installing my mst intake, Ftp boost/intake pipes and Gplus IC. Not getting any codes so I don’t think it’s a misfire… could it be a boost leak?? Did you guys ever figure out what was wrong? Thanks!
