    end of tether time

    i have a 98 v70 t5, with remap, full exhaust etc, i have an intermittent boost problem. one day i will have 18psi, the next time i drive it drops to 10, it might stay like that for a couple of days then goes back to 18psi.
    I have fitted an mbc and a forge dump valve so in essence the ecu has no control over boost levels.
    Would a dodgy 02 sensor or connection cause boost loss due to the ecu adjusting the fuelling? i have had a code flash up on the torque app indicating front 02 sensor fault (p0137) but at the time i had full boost.
    i have checked every hose and pipe, checked and tightened every hose clamp, i don't believe i have a boost leak.
    any ideas?

    Maybe a sticking boost solenoid?

    I'd start with actuator
    Grey 855R Manual. Totally standard.
