Boost levels on track?

Last weekend I was hitting a peak of 14.2 or so PSI at around 55 degrees ambient. Average of around 12-13. IAT was average 86 F

Previously I'd hit around 16 PSI with an average of 14 or so. With ambient temps around 65. Average IAT was 99.

I've heard the slightest whistle/ "hum" sound that I can't tell if it's just the turbo/ intake making sounds or a leak in my charge pipe.

Wanted to gather what was normal on an otherwise stock car with only an intercooler.

Thanks!

Do you have a stock chargepipe or aftermarket?

You may also throw a code if you have a significant leak in the chargepipe.

Which flashtune are you running MHD/bm3?

Aftermarket charge pipe. Stock tune here and completely stock car aside from a Wagner Evo 2 intercooler.

I did some looking back at data and testing today. I assume it was only ambient temps playing a role because the car feels healthy today. Also worth a mention that the track fuel may not have been high quality.

Could just be in my head!

Turns out o have a handful of codes all pointing towards a boost leak. Looks like it wasn't in my head after all!
