Need Help car not running right
i think i messed something up, ok heres the scoop. I recently put a Autometer boost gauge in my car and also did the 3/16 restictor mod that was on the scoobymods website the car ran great, so i decided to try something else i removed the small t-valve that in between the turbo and the wastegate and put in a larger one a 3/16 the car ran better i was boosting at 15psi and i could really feel a noticable difference, it sucked you to the seat even more. So stupid me decided to take it off agian an put the smaller t-valve back on in fear that i would damage something and now my car seems like it has now boost at all, it sucks. SO i put the larger t-valve back in and still the same hardly no boost my gauge is only reaching 9psi to 10 psi max in all gears even a redline in all gears. I reset the ecu and still nothing has changed i need help. I miss my boost feeling. could the silenoid be bad. Also i checked for leaks and found none. Please enlightin me and tell me how to correct this problem somebody.

something to check is the hose fitting onto the fittings. they may be leaking. I had the 3/16 mod, and went back to the stock restrictor and had to snip the ends of the hoses to get a tight fit again. they get stretched and heated by the larger fitting, and then don't fit right after that.
