still making boost, but the power is not transferring
Ok, my car boosts 10 to 11 pounds like it always has...always pulled super hard. Well here lately I am still producing the same boost levels, but the car just spools and doesn't really pull. I'm throwing a code for a rich condition and o2 sensor out of limits, I sprayed maf with maf cleaner two months ago and the car pulled like crazy all over again but it seems to be happening again...this time I found a vacuum leak and capped it off, and the, I guess "boost lag" is happening again, but it can't be lag cause I never feel the power it just boosts but doesn't pull...I can't think of everything else, bit I am changing the oil, and I suspect an exhaust leak and I am changing the oil tomorrow and plugging the secondary o2 housing that I think is now missing a plug...just not sure if that could be the cause of such a big issue...also afr tends to fluctuate quite a bit, but it was tuned by shawn at ramey and the tune was a solid tune never any issues till the past 6 months so I'm just trying to corner the issue and get it fixed. Any info anyone needs from me to help, just ask, I can answer any questions about what has been done to the car, what I'm running ect...
