Problem Need Help!

Ok i just received the GT tuner from Trifecta yesterday and today i loaded the tune up and it went very smooth with no problems, i went on a test drive afterwards turn the traction control off and i get on it in 2nd and im only building about 10-11 psi of boost? Turn it back to stock mode and im only building the same amount tried it with the cruise control button on and didnt change anything, open the hood and check for any leaks and couldnt find any, so i get back in the car and so the same now im only building about 3-4 psi. Could you help me out and let me know what could be going wrong id try to contact Vince but they are closed Sundays.
Thanks, Dustin

Problem solved called Trifeca and Vince was actually there and we got the problem fixed! Great guy btw!

Sorry it was that exact thing lol i felt so dumb and also i installed a block off plate before the tune and it didnt come with directions so i thought it was just take the tan one off along with the spring and the rubber piece if the BPV but Vince said i would need to install the rubber piece back on there (stupid me) because that properly blocked it off, and everything was fine after that. Now just got to data log and fine tune

One question???? iv read on some threads that if you go get the car dynoed in competitive mode it will not work right, so how can i do it if the tune only works in that mode? Would i have to get Vince to switch it to just traction off instead of it being activated in competitive mode.

pretty ESC needs to be off for correct dyno.

your tune should be active when ESC is off.

Competitive Mode leaves ESC control on. To disable that you have to hold the traction control button down and it'll relay in the display when it has been disabled. I could be wrong, but I think No Lift Shifting is disabled when ESC is turned off as well.

For dyno pulls press and hold the traction control button until ESC OFF is displayed on the DIC. Your tune will be active.
