Help boost issue..

I just got my 2001 911 Turbo.. I love it!

Car feels, and pulls strong...

Max boost on the dash is .4! I beleive it should be .8?

What is the most common issue for boost loss on these cars? Is it possible the gauge is wrong? DV's? Piping? Spark plugs?

What do you guys think? I dont want to install my new software without the car being "right"

How about you do one whole test for all leaks, instead of wasting your time trying to single out ONE problem and missing other potential issues.

this does check the entire system. One of my boost hoses poped off at the intercooler while boost testing. Tighted c clamps and X-strapped all intercooler connections....holds 1.2 bar all day long!
