another 04 gli question..

when i first got my gli with 30000 miles, it ran pretty strong, you could feel the turbo kick in and everything.. now, just a week later, it seems like the turbo isnt kicking in as strong.. is this common? what do you guys think is wrong?

I, thinking I'm idling at an AFR at 20 or something (its an AFR/Boost combo), ask what.

"Your turbo is messed up. Your showing -18 psi."
