The code was P2227 Barometric Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance. I cleared it and tried all the modes again as suggested here. From what I can tell it is always on. The budget tune does say that all options are deleted but from what I have read here it seems I still should have been able to select it if I chose that option when I was buying the software. I'm still seeing 15 psi max and 250 HP on the EHQ. That is in "I" gear selection. I've also noticed a BOV sound when I decelerate that wasn't there before. I'm happy with the tune. Not thrilled but for $200 its all good. I'll give Tifecta a call on Tuesday to see if they have any suggestions.

I got it from Trifecta and I checked the box saying I had the 3 bar sensors. I sent an email to Trifecta today but don't expect to hear back before Tuesday.

Just a follow up for anyone finding this thread in the future. I took some data logs and sent them into Trifecta. Got a new tune a day later. No codes and boosting 20+ pounds now. Miles of smiles now.

I bought the non vented version. I prefer not to advertise my modification so I can surprise the hell out of people.

Man I have the same issue!!! WITH A TUNE I only get at most 15lbs of boost, before they "retuned" my tune to get some major surging issues and I really don't feel super satisfied with my tune. I gave up trying to get it fixed because everytime I went to get it "fixed" I lost a lot of power. I am to the point now where I am honestly wanting to get a different tune....and yes I have a budget tune, but it never worked right from the start. I think I got on Vince's nerves trying to fix my issue but when everyone else is getting 22+lbs of boost and I can't even get 15lbs, I get a little pissed.

BNRacing can you help me?

BTW I was forced to pay $50 to get the car to operate correctly in warm weather, it was throwing a MAF code when it was 80* or higher, luckily we got that fixed (I do appreciate this) but I still don't understand why I can't get a tune that allows me to get the boost everyone else does.
