'11 - 335i half check engine light and no power/boost

Car: 2011 335i xDrive sedan, with JB4, BMS intake, and charge pipe... ~65k miles

Issue: About a week ago I got a check engine light come up and the car appeared to have reduced power. The JB4 showed barely 5-6lbs boost and over the past week reduced to barely 2-3lbs.
I tried checking the codes on the JB4 and came up as 2C57 (Charge-Air Pressure Control,, Lower Value: Boost Pressure too low. The diagnostic function monitors the pressure measured by the boost-pressure sensor)
However, when I checked the code with a code reader it wouldnt come up...
Ever since then the car feels like it has no power/boost at all...
I cant find any boost leaks and dont hear any air rushing/leaking out anywhere...
I removed the jbc, intake, and charge pipe.... returned to all stock and still doing the same thing.

Any known issues or things to look into? I have an appointment at the dealership since I'd still like to figure it out.

Thanks in advance....
Chris

Good god, I have a 2011 335i that did the same thing yesterday, same code...
After I tightened all the clamps on CP and intake, the code is gone for now. Hope it stays that way...

For your sake I hope so!

Mine still did the same thing after putting all stock crap back on....

Check the MAF sensor. It might be the cause of all this.

+1 changing weather may exacerbate the issue.
