    SO I'm at a local shop and there flashing my ecu and they take it out for a spin when there finished and it drives stock. I was holding 10psi strong now its only 8, the guy says this problem has never happened before with flashing an ecu. What could the problem be?

    Yeah, running higher boost means it has a better chance of ripping old hoses or your DV can't hold it. Is it stock?

    hmm, i'd run a boost leak test first. easiest to check. Then go from there. Are you sure it doesn't have stock mode and then other modes?

    nope it only has 93 octane program on it , last night i changed out my coolant temp sender to the green one, no boost leaks either. also i took it out last night and really got on the throttle and at best i was spiking 15 and holding 12-13. it should be 19 correct?

    is it possible there is a flash tune already loaded onto my ecu?

    yes that is what it should be around...BOOST LEAK. if you dont find one then your not looking hard enough, you need to pressurize the whole system to test for leaks
