ahhh....probably not. If I missed something....the gauge would have told me....the PSI would have dropped off...and I would have heard a leak I'm sure..

the cold side gets pressure on the test .. so i think you might be okay there. im still leanign towards the "tune" causing the issues

in only a couple isolated cases the ecu or the bcm has been the culprit

well shawn has replaced a ton of parts already .. sensors, intercooler, upper intercooler pipe, bypass valve, oil catch can , etc .. nothing has fixed the issue ... i think its either a wiring issue with GMS1 or its just the tune's itself

To be honest....the tech at the dealer told me he thinks it's the PCM. BUT...even if it was....I cant get anything done about it (as far as warranty goes) because the CEL isn't coming on.....that's what is KILLING ME!!

The GMS1 seems to run fine...but the Trifecta bounces around and flutters....doesn't really hold a "direct" lb. of boost. It'll go from 26 lbs...to 15 lbs...to 20 lbs...ect. Any idea's? Could it be the software?

i feel your pain. i had a problem with my turbo and they wouldn't fix it cause i had no cel. they told me to bring it in when the turbo goes. the turbo eventually siezed up, i brought it in and the turbo was replaced, and when i did and got the car back, drove it less than 200 miles and the engine blew. cost them a hell of a lot more in the long run. retail cost for both repairs was over almost 9k not including labor.

yeah but the luck of all that happening is that it would all happen at 100,001 miles i had taken mine in at sixty some thousand and seventy some thousand for the turbo issues and was told to bring it in if the turbo goes out cause there is nothing they could do without a cel. i told them it was bull **** and with my luck it would happen just outside of warranty but they didn't care. i took it in at 92k with the siezed turbo bearings.
