Odd behavior when I adjusted boost
I raised my boost via the MBC in my car, but when I make boost above 17psi or so (hard to read this guage while I'm driving), the car seems to fuel cut or do something that would stumble the engine quite heavily. Any ideas what this is? Is there a fuel cut for boost in the hydra that I'm not finding or something?

Woot new issue! I build boost fine, but it spikes to 15.5 or so, then drops to 12, then climbs to 14.7 and FINALLY settles down at 14.1psi. Not sure what could be causing it, but I did blow some oil through the system previously, maybe the BOV is leaking? Either that or the MBC.. I don't see this when I have i set to 12ish (it does do it, not as severely though) and its nonexistent at WGA default (8psi) without the MBC..

Stock one that FM sent me. It has a check valve of some sort on the WGA side that lets air out so the WGA can close again, but I blew in it a bit ago and it lets air both ways.. I'm assuming that's not what it should do? :(

My duty cycle is roughly 80% at 14.1psi and 6k rpm, AFRs are around 11-11.5 (except when the boost spikes, it can be up to 12 then)... Wondering what I would see if I kept upping my boost? Currently using 550's, didn't think I'd hit my topend already :(
