Hey there, I'm having a weird boost issue on my 2019 NX2 fbo ecoboost the boost is laggy and only hits 17 psi.
The car was making 24-25 psi at about 3700rpm and now it only hits 17 at 5800rpm.
A bit of backstory to when it started happening.
I had my Water methanol injection kit arrived and i started installing it, but i didn't install everything in the car. I only installed the controller in the dash, the negative of the controller to ground and the positive to the fuse box. After installing that i went to do some datalogs back for my tuner. Did 3 pulls, the first two everything was fine at 24-25 psi but in the third one the lag started happening. After this i thought that a charge pipe blew off and made some boost leak. i thought the wastegate took a dump so i purchased a new one. after installing the new one and preloading it correctly the issue still persisted. The Mechanic and the Tuner suggested changing the BOV so i went and changed it. the issue still persisted. i have done many boost leak test and smoke test and all of them went great. i got tired and bought a new NX2 thinking the turbo was the issue and like before, after installing the turbo it still had that horrible lag and only did 17 psi at 5500-5800rpm.
any help with this i would highly appreciate it.
Down will be pictures of the wastegate and door flap.
