Cobb AP P30FF WTF !

So I have been getting the P30FF code I took my car to a local BMW performance shop and they found a vacuum line leak.. Ok so after that the boost came back. But now when I do long 3rd gear pulls it will trigger the P30FF code, I clear the code and hit it but it is like the car is still in safety mode? I have to turn off the engine and turn it back on and then it goes back to normal of course until I do a long 3rd or 4th gear pull. I have attached 2 datalogs below both of which I believe show the car throwing the code mid pull.
Just .csv files could use some help making it look like a datalog come on Cobb get your own datalog viewing software!

Maybe a boost solenoid needs replaced?

Logs won't help us. You need to find the new boost leak.

I've gotten the P30ff code under heavy load post shift when S1+ was freshly flashed. After adaption, went away. Check you vacuum lines and CP o ring and FMIC connections.

Search for Virtual Dyno, that'll read your csv files.

It is well adapted by now over a month.

I will take it to check for another boost leak, smoke test and hope I find some thing that would be the easiest solution really.

Maybe wastegates are sticking?

1)post turbo boost leak
2)DVs
3)Boost control: vacuum lines from canister to engine, canister to solenoids, solenoids to WG
4)boost solenoid (that was my problem)

if all above don;t solve it then it's your WG actuators

It's a bit glitchy sometimes you just got to do the right steps

Check your dvs and charge pipe first. Most leaks seem to be around there. Then check the vacuum lines that go to the boost control solenoids. A tiny leak will cause the problem you are having. I had the same issue and it took me quite a while to find. Buying a mightyvac to troubleshooting with would probably be a good idea.

Same thing happening to me I replaced both boost solenoids but my car is still getting the code. I'm pretty convinced its the wastegate actuator which is going to be a pain to replace since I'm FBO and I don't think the dealership will replace it
