Help Please

OK, so I dont know if it is my turbo, boost leak, or my gauge, but I was driving home from work and I decided to floor it and the thing shoots up to 30psi? I am on the GMS1 tune and all the mods i have are below in my signature, please help i need some advice.

A boost leak generally causes loss of pressure. I have seen 25-26psi on GMS1.

Other than that, could be the system not release pressure.

Might check the BPV and make sure it's not stuck.

maybe cause i let it sit for ten minutes or so, did another a couple of pulls and now everything is back to normal, i jiggled the vacuum hose going to the cai but that hasnt been touched since i installed it. i hope the BPV didnt get stuck open guess itll mean i have to buy a new one lol

If it doesn't do it again then I wouldn't worry about it.

Could be the waste gate actuator, tubing to the waste gate, waste gate solenoid, or waste gate rod.

it did it again today, i notice it happens when the car sits for a long period of time, another than that its fine, only happens with a COLD start...any suggestions? i dont get on it until 199* Coolant Temp

when im driving i just keep tapping the gas a little and it fixes it self boost gauge would go up to like 30 then after feathering the gas a couple-few times it kicks back to normal at like 20psi
