Default strange day.. BORLA IN and "weak turbo..."

i've had the magnaflow exhaust for months now, and frankly it wasnt for me. so i stepped up and bought an awe-borla exhaust. since i've been having turbo issues (ie hitting constant limp mode that can be reset with a click of the ignition), i asked the shop (which deals apr and awe stuff... weird i know), to check for boost leaks... since i cant find any. i mean i spent all day sunday looking for one, and couldnt find anything at all. after the car is done, all the say is... yea... no boost leak, its just that your turbo is weak.

like WTF???

i'm going to go pull codes and see if its still the positive pressure deviation and if something else has popped up


ps... i LOVE the borla exhaust... it really is slightly louder than stock, flows better than my magnaflow, and the best part HAS NO DRONE AT HW SPEED!!!

I haven't used any DV execpt the 710N. If your DV comes with various stiffness of springs, try using one that is one step down in stiffness.
