Aaron Cake recently had a problem with the "Natural boost" setting on his car, where the controller was not engaging because he dialed it in for 13psi, and the natural pressure that the turbo made was around 12.4-12.6psi. Make sure you have this set correctly as well.

PS: how much time and money did you sink in that setup? That's nice!

I've running my set up for 3yrs (about 7000 miles). Not much time to drive it.
It also took about 3 yrs for the car make over (for the engine build, power modification and suspension make over) and about $10-15G in dough. I was sooooooo broke
This is also why I would rather ask first "what would happen to the car if I do this or do that" than just try it and see what happen. I don't have anymore spare money to spend on another motor build nor for a new turbo.
