i think i am on a "race" valve.... the n75/map/and wastgate all come into play.... your w/g and n75 are the big factors there i think


but i am not a turbo guru so don't hold me accountable

i spoke to lavi over at Uni. he said my idle should be around 20-22, and since now im getting 14ish, he said i definately have a boost leak.

could a bad pressure regulator valve (Pancake valve) cause a boost leak? i took it off and i can blow air straight through both sides no problem, is this a sign that its bad?

check engine light came on again p0300 (multiple misfire) but this time it set my fuel system into an open circuit... so i believe this is soft limp mode??

are there certain things that could cause this?

Could it be possible that the 3bar FPR that i bought from usrt is not functioning properly? if so, is there a way i can test it?

It is right around 1 bar(14.5psi).

That is normal for the pancake valve. It closes when the vacuum on the turbo size becomes too high. You need to do a pressure test with the pancake valve blocked off or doing the pressure test starting at the turbo outlet hose. The leak is most likely something connected to the IM.
