it wasn't power loss more like "turbo lag". Loss of throttle response is what I noticed. My handheld unit still tells me at wot I hit peak of a bit over 8 lbs of boost. I have a flash tune so its not really a concern for me anymore. I have noticed the latest map they flashed it with was better than it was in January.
