I have a pretty modded turbo but can only get it to read .6 bar even under the hardest pulls

Anybody know what this might be happening? Thanks in advance.

0.6 bar, seem your TT at lime mode, check if any hose leak or failed MAF.

Try punching it at 2500rpm in 5th or 6th gear. See what you get...

No, nothing different in 5-6th gear punching it. Not sure what Lime Mode means up above...

The next time I take it in, I will have them check for hose leaks.

Anybody else have experience with this sort of thing? Thanks in advance.

Lime = "limp" mode. He meant to say limp mode.

something is tripping the ecu and it goes into safe mode, reset ecu first and see if that fixes it.

Since we dont know how modded you are, diverter valves are a culprit also.

Thanks. I have Evo Billet diverter valves. I will drop off to my shop next week, along with ya'lls feedback to jump start them.

It always helps to have some insight prior to showing up, it always saves you some $$$ in the long run. :-)

I have the same problem but it always fixes itselves after a few hours or the next day I have the upsolute chip and stratmosphere diverter valves....My car runs normal for several days and then without any reason I can't get boost above 0.6 bar....I've been told it's a problem with the upsolute chip and they are trying to solve it....
