You maybe should try itp's and see if that works?

[REDPOWERSMOKER]

IT IS THE SAME THING ITS ONLY LETTING THE COMPUTER SEE 15LBS OF BOOST

How did you make the boost fooler? Does it do this at the same PSI on your guage every time? How much boost are you showing on the guage when this happens? Sounds to me as though the boost fooler is dumping all your boost.

ITS A REGULATER FOR A AIR COMPRESSOR AND ITS ONLY LETTING 15PSI THROUGH AND MY REGULAR GAUGE WHICH IS SHOWING IT BEFORE THE FOOLER AND ITS LIKE 28PSI

I'm wondering if you have a boost leak somewhere. I don't see a CCV mod in your sig. How oily are your intake and IC boots?

I tried the same thing years ago with an air compressor type regulator I got at tractor supply, I think the regulator doesn’t work well because the air is not actually flowing, it is trapped in the line. I later did the 4.7 volt Zener diode and it works great. I got a pack of 5 on eBay for around $1 and it takes less than 5 minutes to install.
