    2013 Ecoboost F-150 keeps dropping boost

    I am trying to hunt down an issue with my truck dropping boost. it will spike to about 20psi then pull boost back to ~10 no matter the settings.

    i have checked the BOV and IC clamps. but wondering if we are missing something in the tune that keeps pulling it back.

    any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks

    The thing that stands out to me, is your Wastegate Canister Spring Preload. It is set at 1.47 psi and most of the stock ones I have seen are around 4.75 psi. Have you changed the wastegates on this vehicle (if so, the 1.47 psi may be ok)?

    On a side note, I do not think it's your issue, but your EOI Clip is pretty high at 665 degrees. This allows for injector opening well into the compression stroke which seems off to me.

    Upped the temperature limits in the higher load cells above 4k rpm by ~75F, and the surrounding cells in ~3k by 15-25F. Going to start here and see how it runs.

    Also put in a 160F tstat as my fans were working a$$ off trying to keep desired ECT
