Default 10psi?

Weird thing was going on last night and today...

In car boost gauge says car only running 10psi, still feels as fast just dont understand why this is?

Normally hits 12 and stays there to redline with my Z4?

The Z4 will drop off toward the end.

Yes but it's not going to 12.71 its boosting to 10psi max, sometimes seeing 11?

Think it may be my boost solenoid?

i expect the hotter weather may not be doing the car any favours but since it's easy to do a good check of the hoses and cleaning the solenoid may be worthwhile.
