GFB dv+ installed

To clarify, we need to pay duty for anything over $20. Yes, our government loses money to collect money...
Edit: Further clarification: If I import say... MeisterR's, it would be the $995 + 6% duty for non-NAFTA suspension parts + shipping, then tax (13% here). If you're lucky, they won't tax the duty, but sometimes they just roll it all into one calculation. Dispute w/o paying = no item, dispute w/ paying = good freggin luck, and you can return the item. Yep, we're screwed![[shameful]](/images/smilies/shameful.gif "Shameful [shameful]")

Check into this. If they ship from UK many of this is exempt.

Update***
Checked all clamps, rechecked 3 bolts holding dv+, two clamps slightly loose but barely.
AP is now registering a progressive ramp in psi through all gears as followed:
1st 18 psi
2nd 20 psi
3rd. 21.25 psi
4th 22.93
Stopped all pulls after 4th gear.
Originally all gears registered 22+ psi. Even after the initial install it registered the same. I filled my tank up after about 3-4 pulls. Still no boost issues, went to sleep woke up the next day and voila, all of a sudden my gas mileage slightly dropped and I was no longer hitting my boost targets with my Cobb stg3 it's tune.
I do not attribute this to the GFB DV+! If I do have a boost leak it would be registering low vacuum numbers but I am still seeing -10.5 for vacuum. Although the boost loss and mileage dropping would suggest otherwise!
Fifteen minutes ago I re-installed the same 91 Oct stage 3 tune that was already on the car. After the flash the Fist felt a bit more peppy.....but no more huge punch in 1-3rd gears like there use to be.
Could anyone please shed some light on this weird situation I'm having??
The only idea I can come up with is bad gas?

I'm also Cobb stg3 and started having similar problems. I figured it was a loose connection on my hot side charge. Looked and looked but couldn't find it. Another guy in the shop walks over and looks at my car and sees that my charge pipe is cracked at the weld connecting it to the oil sump. I took pictures and sent it to cobb...they sent me a new charge pipe free with no further questions asked. It doesn't seem that that's your problem though if you're getting more pressure with each gear change. I was still getting pretty big negative pressure on the AP with this issue.
The only other thing I think of is shifting through the gears quickly...or driving down hill and then leveling out/going up. Boost pressure builds faster under load.

)I have the GFB, but haven't installed it yet. Any one have any thoughts or comparisons to the Boomba BPV?
