TVS Boost Problems

Hey guys I took my TVS to Hahn yesterday to get tuned and during the tuning process we lost about 5lbs of boost. So it was only boosting around 15lbs instead of the 20 or 21lbs it usually does. We also found out that when we bypass the boost bypass valve the boost comes back to 18.5 19lbs. So not all the way back to 20 21lbs like I would want to see. Does anybody have any ideas as where to look too see if I can find the problem.

Thanks

the boost bypass valve was my problem, so I don't know. Maybe a little belt slippage?

Yeah it was working fine before then we got it up on the dyno and after about 11 runs the boost went down to 15psi but I did the boost bypass and it went back up to around 19 but not hitting the max of 20psi

Clogged cat would cause more backpressure resulting in higher boost and I'm almost 1000% the exhaust is ok I'll get the logs up in a little bit so everyone can see what's going on
