What was the boost before you put on the new DV's and more importantly was the car doing this before the new DV's? what kind are they ?what spring is in them?do you hear any noise when your trying to boost? is the f-hose new ? It can go so many ways.The more info the better we can help you.

Are you sure it's limpmode?
Try this test: Get on the highway on a slight uphill and hold the pedal to the floor in 4th. You should definitely see a steady .6 or .7 bar then.

Boost is load dependent and you won't always see a steady .6 in 2nd gear when getting on it around town.

Of course, the easiest cure is retune the ECU. Then you'll see .8 while pulling out of your driveway.
