Default The Case of the Missing Boost

So i just got my car back from getting the timing belt done. runs like brand new i must say.

but that is also part of the problem... before it went into the shop i was running at 17 PSI with the APR tune... now when i get on it, i hear the turbo spool but it peaks at 9 PSI and holds at about 7 PSI....

any ideas as to why that is? i would really like to have the missing boost returned.

is it possible that they had to reset the computer and clear out the APR tune?

might be just a leak, since the entire front end was probably off maybe they messed up reattaching the intercooler hoses or something.

get under it and look around, check all your hose clamps

maybe they stole your ecu and replaced it with a stock one, or the reflashed your computer, because thoose are stock numbers.
