30ff but logs showing 12psi boost

I installed an ER charge pipe and a jb4 last week. This week when I was taking logs on Map 1, I kept losing power and boost. 30ff code showing boost leak.
This morning on my way back from work, I got a loss of power and a transmission failure message and car went into limp mode. The car was fine after turning it off and on.

My logs show I was holding 12psi boost (Even 14psi at certain points). I suspect the connection from my throttle body to the charge pipe or the diverter valves are leaking.

Is it weird my logs show 12 psi yet I'm feeling loss of boost and 30ff.

Check your meth bung, make sure it's tight. Make sure you used the o-ring for the t-map sensor and make sure you used the o-ring at the throttle body flange.

Also make sure the t-bolt/worm gear clamps are positioned directly after the beads on the piping.

If there's a leak the car can still see 12psi but the turbos are putting out 20+ . I wouldn't push it anymore until you find it.

Did you update your jb4 firmware? Not setting duty bias to 0 or 50 will throw 30ff codes.

Didn't know about this one. I'll check my firmware today.
So i re-tightened everything and checked for leaks.
Should I clear the code and drive a bit to see if the code comes back? Or does the code go away automatically?
