do a boost leak test mate, kits available on ebay, only way to find leak you may find recirc valve is not holding pressure it will be something small and silly. kits are only about 15 squid or you can make you own if your handy with diy

The easiest way is a boost leak test the long winded way is to remove it blank all the pipes up and see if your still dropping boost. The map won't effect the boost level unless its done straight from remap I would say. Grab a leak test buddy they are handy to have with a turbo car

dropping boost = boost leak test 1st

Stay with that idea then move on to other idea's like plugs or coil packs

Is it hitting less boost than before or losing boost?
