When I had this issue, battery reset did not fix the problem. It was bad DV.

They are a PITA to get to, so you might try this: Disconnect the vacuum hose going into the top of the DV and attach a suction device, e.g., I used a brake bleeder gadget. One of the DV's failed to hold vacuum = boost leak.

If you have aftermarket DV's, you can take them apart and grease the O-ring.

Cold weather could affect this due to the change in viscosity of the grease.

Are you not supposed to see more PSI with that set up? I sold my stage IV Giac file to MotorsportsR. He has a GT2 and sees 1.2bar now and is happy. I will actually see him tomorrow at the raceway. You need to boost up more baby, sooooooon.

Well I hit 1.1 today, and I think I remember hitting 1.2 a few months ago, but maybe it was just 1.1. I never have the boost gauge showing so I don't watch it.

Yeah yeah I know! I am constantly evaluating all the options on the market and the installers around here.

Do you ever run 100 octane gas? I wonder with that aboard and colder weather what the boost will show?

If I were you I would give it a shot. Better octane rating will help any car IMO. Just wondering how clean the dyno will be.
