make the dealer fix it. keep taking it back. if your only boosting 4 psi, your guage might be fucked up, or literally your only boosting 4. You should see about 11psi stock

Its under the hood. If you want to reset the PCM, walk to the trunk and disconnect the battery.
You sure this is under full throttle, right? You won't get full boost sitting at a stoplight.

DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PCM!!!!!!!! Discconnect the battery for 20 mins, and the pcm will be reset to stock. IF you have stage II, and you disconnect that battery for 20 mins, it will just reset the computer to the stock Stage II tune.
You HAVE to disconnect it for at least 20 mins.

That doesn't even make sense.. kPa is a significantly higher reading then PSI.
I run a little over 90kPa at WOT which is roughly 13.5psi. (P.S. I'm stock.)

megapacals would just read 0.09 instead of ninety 
lol
id rather read Bar instead of megapascal, i prefer kilopacals to megapascals as i prefer psi to kilopacals lol but inreality there all just gauge pressure, you have to add atmospheric pressure yet to get absolute, k im done being a nerd lol

well 1 megapascal = 145.037738 psi
so if i figure out math wise
i take .1034211 mulitpliy it by 145.037738 psi
you get 14.9999624054718 PSI, lol so 15 psi
who needs a online calculator when u got conversion sheets
i need them daily for work so yah lol
