Alright so my car is throwing two codes and they both read the boost pressure sensor and boost pressure temp sensor. Sounds like this could be the cause of why its running such a low psi

What are the codes.

I really think you should stop concentrating on ot "running at a low psi" and worry more about getting your tune figured out. You shouldn't even be boosting until you get your tune modified for a ZFR. You saying your "not pushing your car" and following it with "it's only boosting to 10psi" is contradictory.

Do you have anything to monitor your fuel trims afr or kr?

SL0baltSS is his username found it
I don't have the cable anymore lol. I had to go to gilbert to use a cable. To go back to stock you just need the newer client and you select stock tune and it will remove the tune.

The guy with the cable is on here uhhhh, Don't remember his name but his sig has "Trifecta dealer of chandler." with a red LT to SS in his sig. look in the last 15 pages of the az spotted thread on here.

I know I should be boosting. I found out its only boosting 10 psi when i first installed it. I got on it a few times to see how it runs and after that I saw something was wrong I stopped and drive it like a grandma now. I know it needs to the tune, but whats the point of doing the tune if something else is wrong. I want the car to be fixed before tuning it so if a sensor is bad I'd like to replace it myself before giving it to someone.

EFIlive doesn't support the E69, however they do support just about every other Bosch ecm used by GM. lol
Really? I wonder if that's something to do with the new tunes they do then. I've done a write entire over my old tune several times and never once had an issue. Heck, I've even had the dealer flash over my TF tune without a problem. Mine is an older TRT file and the new stuff is like, TRTX I think.

But yeah, the easiest thing to do is contact them to get the TF tune file for that car.

OP its up to you. But you need to do take action soon or avoid driving the car until you can get a tune for it. Make a decision: either go with the new ECM and tune or find someone with a red TF cable and contact TF for the vehicles original cal file. Stop asking questions here on the forum and just make a decision already LOL

Also, when you say you are contacting trifecta, where exactly are you sending your emails?

It would help if you told us what codes your getting. There may not be anything wrong. The Lnf is super finicky.

So i'm gonna get the new PCM and it has the option to add GM stage 1 map sensors for all around 300 so looks like thats what i'm gonna do. As for driving the car, my work is literally across the street so in the last month i've barely gone through a tank of gas. Yeah, not much driving going on here

I drove my car for 3 weeks with no tune on my 7163. It didn't harm anything, when I finally got it tuned we did wot pulls on my k04 map and the timing and knock and afr were all spot on. People who don't understand our cars like to yap. But I'm pretty sure they jell.

The only thing that I don't agree with ECaulk on is, that Term is basically the only guy to go to. He's not. There are a few other plenty competent tuners out there for these vehicles.
Just read the second half of your post. I though he was in CO and we have a deal through our club with Term. Youre also a good LNF tuner from what people say can't say anyone around here has a tune from you, and there are others also.

Before anything do a boost leak test, that is more likely the cause of the low boost. Then once you are sure that its not a boost leak then you can just contact trifecta and see if you can pay to rent the tuner and tune it back to stock. Likely they can send you the stock files for your car.

He is not exactly saying that. I have a tuning relationship with their cobalt club out in Colorado.
