After installing a carbonio intake and 007 DV, I went from 15psi to 5psi. I did a boost leak test and only found one small leak by my intercooler.

Any ideas?

You might be able to on block 115 which shows requested boost and acutal boost.

Care to elaborate? What was the problem with the DV that could cause such a drop in PSI?

yeah well i came home from school and i wanted to check the dv just out of curiosity. so i jacked the car up took out the dv and looked it through and it wasnt really that dirty but i just cleaned it a little by spraying wd-40 and i put it back in and i started the car and went around the block and i was shocked to see that it ran 10psi... i was thinking maybe all the boost wasnt really going through the dv instead it went back to the intake because after that my intake got quieter.

Hm, well. That means its time to put my old DV back in and see if it fixes my problem.

I'll report back after the weekend.
