Default Boost Problem Help..?

Ok so when im driving normally my boost goes from like0 psi and drops close to -20, when keeping at a steady pace like 35 mph. And while im driving hard ill step on the gas, and my boost spikes to about 14 and then will fluxuate between 10 and 11. And the needle is bounces up and down. between 11 and 10.
Is that a problem maybe boost leak? or is that just normal just some inciet please

well for one-- mopar bov are not too reliable so ur problem could be that ur bov is leaking under high boost. they do sound good but dont perform well.

Take off your mopar BOV and put some RTV sealant around the gasket and the surgevalve. If you have a boost leak tester then perform a test.

I dont have a boost leak tester. So you guys think its the actual BOV. Cause i was planing on buying a raptor with a pipe. So the blocking plate will go where the BOV is at. Will i still need to use sealent?
And today i just bottom'd out really hard. And now im only pushing like 10 lbs i hope i didnt break anything or knock anything loose....

BTW my friend just bought a turbo kit for his car and now he is going to push 500 hp .... im going to kill him...[:@]

Your BOP (block off plate) should come with a gasket, if not then use some RTV sealent. The BOP will go where your surge valve and Blue plate currently are.

Find the "how-to" on building your own boost leak tester (it's easy). You'll have to remove your intake pipe and hook the tester up to your turbo inlet. Use a air pump to build up some pressure and listen for leaks....and so on....

Your IC (inner cooler) pipe got knocked off or loosened up. Re-clamp them.
