I am having some issues with my car. The boost will only go up to about 15psi, and I had it running 22psi. It started doing this after my MAF inlet pipe for some reason came loose at one of the joints and it started running terribly. I limped it home, (only going about 30mph) and popped the hood, and fixed that problem, and it immediately ran perfect. But I drove the car today, and it will only build up 15psi. I have checked for vacuum leaks, and pulled off the intercooler to make sure that the little fan has not rubbed a hole in it. Can't find any reason why it would have changed.
I did pull off the downpipe, and the elbow to check on the wheel, and it looks fine, could this be an issue with the wastegate? I tried adjusting it, and the boost pressure stayed the same. I don't know what to do! Any help/suggestions are much appreciated!
