Low boost (3.5psi) and like a limp mode
so I'm at a loss here I have looked up and read a ton of stuff and still can't figure this out... COMPLETELY STOCK NO MODS... so boost only show with petal to the floor and before 4k rpms, but normal driving i can here the turbo spool but not showing any boost. CEL showed MAF and had a new one already so throw it on there and cleared code and the car ran like crazy for almost two mile but would spool up too 10psi but stopped and back to 3.5psi... i have checked the MAPs and cleaned them and ordered the 3.0 bar ones, waiting for them to arrive. And all this just happen instantly one day. Any help would be great any question please ask i can answer... im just lost with this one... oh the engine has like 13k miles on it

That code like 99% of the time means you have a boost leak. Since your are completely stock check your intercooler for cracked/broken end tanks. Would be best to remove the front bumper to inspect it.

So while I was waiting on the intercooler to come in I did some plastic weld on that hole... put everything back together and now I have a hesitation with the throttle... like sitting still and while driving... sitting still in neutral if I give it gas it like jumps and takes like a half a sec to kick... same issue when driving and shifting gears it like bows from lack of power than picks right back up... ?? Just curious about this...
Cel p2187 system too lean at idle just showed??

The stock plastic charge pipes are known for issues and the stock diverter valves are known for sticking and the diaphragm ripping, on top of the intercooler failure
