If it does then you know there may be an issue with the boost control electronics or something is up with the input sensors/data that tells the ECU what to set the boost at.
Okay, I'll get hold of a new boost gauge and install the MBC and see what happens :O My best guess is a bad sensor or other electronics since the car boost just fine when it does...

But could it be the O2 sensor maybe? I find it weird that when I drive the car hard and push it the boost suddenly rises.. Maybe the sensor is really clogged up and when I push it the sensor breathes or something.. I don't know haha.

When I achieve full boost by driving the car hard I can be at around 3000-4000 rpm while doing a pull and suddenly the turbo spools up much louder and gives the car more power..

The O2 sensor doesn't affect boost operation since the ECU is in open loop.
