It was the MAF!!

The car is running great. The bad MAF was causing improper boost control and the throttle to close. All I did was swap the MAF out with a remn unit from ECS, let the car adapt to it a little bit... a few rolling restarts and it hauls.

Thanks for your help guys!

;p ha ha, that was an old pic...wonder how many I would have had had I kept my car!

I ran through mafs like every 5k miles or so. As a matter of fact, I found a few housing while cleaning up!

I'll see your 6 as well. Long live the 8v turbo!
