Default Can't Powerbrake Anymore?

I cant figure out what is going on... I used to be able to powerbrake very easy now it seems like it is doing the defueling thing? Could this be from some update that I got on my bullydog? The only things I have changed is the turbo, and probably a newer update on the bullydog triple dog. any suggestions?

I don't want to add something else, just want to fix/figure out why it won't do it anymore? Do programmers get rid of the defueling from the computer when the brake is pressed?

Have you had a Brake Pad Change Lately?

If not theres a Good Chance you've got some serious Torque convert and Transmission issues coming on!
