Need help diagnosing boost display fault

-pcv replaced, boost controller replaced, vacuum pump check valve replaced.

Where does the display get its input? Im assuming one of the sensors is toast.

Do you have any active/stored codes? Have you plugged in a scanner?

It could be a couple of things. Obviously could be the actual turbo, but highly unlikely. Next thing to check would be for a faulty boost pressure sensor, MAP sensor issue (most likely), or a vacuum line leak.

What motor do you have? M274?

Its an m276....turbos are fine. Just came back from the dealer who checked and replaced the pcv and the front main seal under warranty. They also recently swapped my evap purge valve under warranty.

No codes. I run logs for all the sensors and there doesn't seem to be any anomaly data in the MAP readings during these occurrences...also only happens when engine is cold ish.... could it be a cropped out airbox map? Thats my next contestant on the price is right....

Oh ya and i checked for vacuum leaks with mighty vac...nothing.

I had this same issue on my M274 and it ended up being the MAP sensor even though I wasn't throwing any codes. I ended up replacing both of mine (not sure which one was bad) but it fixed the issue. Not sure how many the M276 has, but i'd start there since they're relatively inexpensive on FCP Euro.
