Hey guys,
Not really sure if this is the right place to put this. First time posting on SpoolStreet so I apologize in advance, I'm just looking for some assistance. So as the Title says my car is struggling to make full boost. I look at my logs and my car does not make more than 15.4 PSI regardless of how high the target is. I'm just going to put all the information that I have as well as all the things that I have done in attempt to fix it. Logically speaking the problem should lie within the VRSF Chargepipe + Tial BOV combination since that's when I noticed that the car was having some issues after the install. I had lost one of the meth bung bolts and and got a replacement bolt from Home Depot, can't tell if maybe that's the issue possibly. I had taken the car to my friend who's a BMW tech and he had done me the favor of smoke testing the chargepipe and he said that there was no leaks in the chargepipe which is what's stumping me. The MAF sensor the clip that holds it in snapped so I'm not sure if that could have some affect on it? I have checked every coupler and it has been checked by 4 of my friends as well. I checked every single one, and all of them were tight. The Vacuum Lines were replaced when I had gotten the car to Silicone Vacuum Lines. I'm really just not sure what to check at this point. I had thought it maybe possibly could've been tune related because after the Chargepipe I had switched tunes, but switching tunes had done nothing.
(I had bolded all the main points.)
Thanks for the read and I appreciate any help!
Sorry for the wall of text

. A new pair comes tomorrow, hopefully that'll fix my issue.
