You might be thinking of my logs. I've got the same thing going on with EQT E30. Turbine actuator at 100% for much of the time and boost pressure between 1 and 2 psi below target. Iat higher than they probably should be vs ambient as well.

Seems something isn't quite right but aside from a cursory leak test where 30psi revealed nothing, I haven't done much investigation. It's too hot out to care yet.

Yep, all the logs kinda blur together I suppose. You have the Majesty though and car runs pretty well despite the numbers in the log if I remember correctly. I was thinking about that the other day, have you had the MAP sensor out of have a boost tap?

It does seemingly run very strong. Itd be funny if I've been 10% down on power all this time.

No boost tap, and I've never removed the map. That whole system is stock aside from the IC and the new tip I put in 2 weeks ago.

And no leaks. Strange. You don't have a shop rag in there by chance 😁.

Something is infecting our ICs and causing them to plug up. Must be the 'rona.

Could be. I never did any logs before getting my accessport a month ago. The IC may have been wack all along for 18 months for all I know.

Hope not. Had heard a few cases early on where folks flushed them out with compressed air and had a bits of aluminum come out. Don't believe that would clog one to the point of restriction though.

I blasted mine with air before install. No debris to be seen.

I dunno. Maybe a weld cracked? In a month or so I'll test more thoroughly.

I have a similar condition, but not consistently: sometimes boost is pretty damn close.
