Question Wha?

On driving home this morning, I noticed my car wont hold its boost.

If I accelerate, (not full pedal) it will boost up to say 11 or 12, or even up to 15, it will hold for 1 or 2 sec, then drop to somewhere between 6 - 9 psi.

Same, as if I slowly depress the accelerator, the boost will rise until it gets to about 7 or 8 psi and will hold there, unless I push harder down.
Never done this before, my guess is a leak in one of my hoses?

Would I be correct in this guess?

(I can get a small recording of the gauge while Im driving if my explaination isnt clear enough.)

Wouldnt be a fault with the ECU after you got a VERSO done on it.

more of the story.....

The problem is still there, finally gave Sean from ASG a ring today, and spoke to him, he said to bring my car down and he'd take it for a run and tell me what the problem most likely is, and this will be after normal hours on monday.

So now I see why I keep reading that hes a good bloke.

Anyways, from my description, he doesnt think its a big problem to fix.
