i noticed recently that i only boost to 10 now... i ALWAYS boosted to 15... in florida. Now i know cold weather will affect my car... and it is getting into the 40s and 30s once in a while... but 5 lbs of boost? I guess it still feels strong, but i cant get over that loss of 5 lbs.

Reset the computer, unhook your battery cable for a couple mins. Should get boost back.
I did. I also made sure every air line going to my turbo, and to my airbox looked good. Now, my air filter, isnt as healthy as it was the day i bought it. But it shoudlnt cause that sudden of a drop. Im thinking it is just the weather up here... but im paranoid. Because its been a while since its started getting cold... but this is the first time ive noticed it... so im kinda freaked out.
Bring it to my place and well look at it...
Im assuming youve checked, but no codes right?
no codes... and today its like mid 40s out... and im running 9 lbs... but yesterday it got up to like 65 or so, and i was still only running the same... How does the air change in the fall? Does it get really dry out... would that cause lest boost..., as opposed to living near the water in florida?
I only saw the BOV plate in your mod list so I'm assuming it's a stock car (or at least none of the stage upgrades). If I'm not mistaken, the car adjusts for everything (including temperature) so you can hit the magic stock HP number. If it's hot, increase boost. If it's cold, decrease boost. I was driving one colder night, and I was only getting 8psi WOT. The next day, it warmed up and I was hitting 12 or so.

Id say its a lemon and you should return it... ;P
j/k I dont know...If IH8 is right and you just have a bov then I wouldnt worry about it. Just keep moding it... ;P
so my car should be more efficent right? Still turning out the same power, just using a less air to do it. id love to be running 15 lbs boost in this cold air... my car would be a monster...

Remember when we were at the track on the 2nd? Cold as hell and we kept resetting the comp and I was running 16-17lbs no problem.
Spring mod and bleeder valve good. The stock comp will not let you hurt it your car.
