GL with the tennis ball mod lol, I tried it multiple times and got crappy results. Its poissible your gauge has a leak. Do you own an air compressor? Could always hook the gauge up and compare the 2 pressure gauges for accuracy. I'd think it would be rare for them both to be off in the same direction by the same amount.

If it gives you lost power it must be a MOD

Could it be the the wastegate valve inside of the turbo? maybe leaking off boost through the exhaust?
