take the controller off and run it on the spring alone.

report back what happens and try to get a video of your boost gauge

Ok so maybe I need a stronger spring, I order new springs already Ima try the 8 lbs spring and turn up the controller to see what happen.

When I did't had the controller it was at 5 lbs and i remember the boost dropping to 3 lb's but I though since it's only 5lbs at top it was loosing boost.
But now on 10 lb's and loosing 4 lb's don't look right to me.

Well jgs doesnt rate their springs by lbs they go by size so where are you getting these numbers from?

I have all three

Light makes 4 lbs
Medium makes 7 then drops to 4-5
Heavy made 15 and that was too much
