10 psi max
First off heres the info on the car
2008 cobalt ss/tc
8,000 miles
k&n sri
zzp catless d/p
stock tune
heres the issue
Just recently i have been having a issue with boost, No CEL, and no codes on the car. When i first put the sri on the car it ran fine, bpv sounded like it was opening and closing properly. Now weeks later it is sounding like the bpv is not working properly, it will spool but not make a lot of boost, 10-12 psi MAX. This usually happens when the car is warmed up also, doesnt do it around 100* but around normal driving temps. To me it sounds like the bpv is opening when it shouldn't be. I would like to get this figured out before i do the zfr and other mods. Any ideas? Maybe the car doesnt like the k&n on stock tune?

The other day, I changed the position of the k&n filter and cleaned maf. That worked for a little while then it went back to doing it, still does it on my new tune i got yesterday, no changes from stock tune to new tune.

Could be a dirty boost solenoid or in the case of a car running 26 psi p0106 or other boost related code may not be disabled in the tune.

Funny thing like shortbus, I am not getting a code. I would WOT in 3rd 26 psi shift, then wot in 4th and get 20psi......try it again get 26 psi in 3rd, shift then get 26 psi in 4th. I am getting ready to throw a boost solenoid at it. P0106 is enabled tho

Turn p0106 off and see if it stops. If not clean the boost solenoid out with carb cleaner and check the plug as well.
