Diverter Valves releasing boost when throttle applied

Sorry if this has been answered already, but whenever my car starts to build boost, it sounds like the diverter valves start releasing boost before I hit my boost target. I have a 30ff code and can only reach like 6lbs. I ordered a charge pipe w/ a BOV, but are the diverter valves the problem here? It sounds like oscillating wooshes (just like when you let off the gas) while I am accelerating. The car is JB4 with a backend flash (don’t know which one)

Try and put new gaskets in the OEM diverter valves. I'd put on forge diverter valves vs OEM if you have yo replace them.

Double check to see if your boost regulators are working too.

If your vacuum lines are OEM, if replace them w/ silicone/ titanium cured lines.

Thanks. Ordered parts and will report back once I install them. Sadly now I am having an electrical freak out on my car. Every light and over heating, but that’s all for a new thread
