Low Boost issue

Ok on my way to work i got on the car and it builds little to no boost after 4000 rpm. it will spike for a second but then falls to 5-6 psi in the upper rpms. I had some new tires installed on my car earlier today and had to get my wife to drive it home. As she is pedal happy i set the procede i have installed on the car to N/a mode so the waste gates stay open. I know they say this can mess up the adaptions on the cars. I checked the charge pipe and it is fine. My next 2 steps were going to be to reset the adaptions on the car and check the diverter valves. I also noticed when giving the car throttle it makes a lot of 'boost' noise which it did not before and blows off really loud. Thanks in advance!

Sounds like it may be stuck in N/A mode.

Reinstall firmware and maps, make sure you read the "READ ME" file and reset all adaptations.

Usually the only problem with N/A mode was that the car would oscillate at low RPM so a rest of adaptations was necessary.

Are you throwing a 30FF code?

Actually found the issue it was a vac line running to the diverter valves it came off. The line had some oil inside and slid off as it was not zip tied.
