A tip.... it's hard to listen with your fingers in your ears....
I didn't ask if it was spooling faster or boosting a couple psi more... I asked WHAT IS THE BOOST!? and IS IT OVERBOOSTING?! Also, it's been *suggested*
twice that you look closely for a BOOST LEAK. Quit questioning everything and grab a f#$king wrench and actually help us help you! Also, if you don't have ANY of the equipment required to SAFELY mod the car then DON'T TOUCH IT.
Okay... so, do we now have your attention? Take your ADD meds and get with it. If you're worried about your hands getting dirty go buy some gloves. Now start pulling couplers and looking for tears, inspect electrical connectors for signs of corrosion or poor connection. Go spend some money on some basic diagnostic tools and get some actual numbers.
You didn't wash your AFM with anything did you? They're easy to murder, NEVER try to clean a KVAFM. Just figured I'd ask as you're so sensor fixated.... A shot AFM could cause most of your problems, but they don't often die horrible deaths without some help.
