I was just gonna tell you to try the boost bypass mod... There can be some negative effects so I would do it for now and try to figure out what is causing the issues!

Did your cooling pump crap on you, because that'sa symptom of severe heat. Car will permanently reduce boost if it sees the extreme heat from a dead intercooler pump.

Yeah, the 2.7 is a heat generatin' S.O.B. Start the car and make sure the fluid is flowing through the H/E fluid neck!
