Boost Problem

I just got my spark plugs changed with factory plugs and regap to .025'' (to be flash soon) and also changed out the BRV to the Forge One. I notice I was only able to hit 7 PSI of boost max in 2nd and 3rd gear in non sport mode. I am bringing it back to have my installer take a look to make sure there is no leaks somewhere. Any other ideas?

Have them check the VTG actuators. They have to take off the heat shield to the left side turbo to get to the plugs. When putting the shield back on, it could have been put back on wrong and is blocking your VTG actuators from opening, thus not allowing your turbos to spool.

Thanks. I will have them check that out. My dash says I am boosting but at 5k rpm I am only at 7psi and get beyond that. Hope whatever is going it hasn't damaged my engine. Maybe I should plug in the durametric cable.

Over-boosting could damage the engine but under-boosting, not a chance. Don't worry, it will get sorted with no damage done.
