Default Can someone exorcise my evo!

I was at the track today and was running just horrible. Mods are buschur turbo back exhaust with high flow cat, k & n panel filter and dynoflash and an added mbc (added on after dynoflash). I had it set properly 2 days ago running 20.5 psi but it still fell to 17 psi.

Well today at the track the car started to act up and only boost a maximum of 17 psi and falling off to 15. Did three runs and only average 97 mph. I did a quick check for leaks but didn't see any loose hose. Decided to turn up the boost without testing it h: and still got a best peak at a little higher than 17 psi. and trapping bout 97.

Well got disheartened and drove home, but I decided to run it through the gears again and it was boosting 22 psi....what the hell. It is still running 22 psi and thats with the same mbc adjustment from the track. What is going on?

On another engine oddities....does the knock sensors detect mad rumbling sound and vibration from outside sources such as american muscle drag cars revving up because my engine almost died not once but twice when i was next to those car revving up their engine. Sound stupid but I don't know why my idle drop to zero twice.

Just to note I ran against my friend,from a roll with an extra person in the car, who runs low 13's and I barely lost to him From a "good" launch it would have been a different story. I also went head to head with an sti, but that was before the boost controller h: I know its TOS but its relevent to the situation.

I also know this is not an evo forum, but what the hell.
