Default Do I have S-1 Problems?

I have the Stage-1, & the Mopar BOV on my E-Blue & it seems like it makes allot more Pussssshhh/hissing noise during full acceleration than before I put the PCM in! Is that supposed to happen? I have the factory Air Box still so I know it’s not an intake sound, anyone know what this can be?
I get right at 15 PSI in boost at full throttle, & it my drops like 1 PSI @ redline! Would it do me any good to install an AGP (Billet) Waste Gate? Maybe an in cabin boost controller?

Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated!

What way do you all think I should go?

i think your problem is most likley a inproperly installed bov. did you put sealant on your gasket? did you make sure it was on correct (way to many people get this one wrong)? make sure the rubber on the stock surge valve is fully seated. the reason i say its the bov is 1) boost drop 2) you shouldnt hear a loud hissing noise during acceleration.

Can't be the Mopar BOV, I had it on 2-3 months before the Stage-1 PCM was installed. Did not start getting the high pressure sound till I installed the PCM! It does not feel like I am loosing any power, and it get's louder as I get the pressure closer to the max of 15 PSI on my factory wastegate!
