chip is still good, maybe something with the fuel injectors, was running completely fine till about 2 months ago, 30psi and rich as normal, no exhaust leaks found, yes they are hks 550, vacuum lines look good, what should i look for on the wastegate? car starts leaning out real bad when getting to 16 psi is why i thought the tune was messed up

I think you mean 20psi? 30psi is too much for a 2871. The maf could be going out, try taking it off and spraying off with brake clean the sensor in it, or swapping it out with one if you have access

Well if you were running 30psi, then there's your issue. Turbo is toast, and motor probably is too.

Hopefully you're talking about fuel pressure and even then that's below 3bar.

You have 14 thousand dollars in a motor with a 2871? You're doing it wrong.

wanted a quick spooling turbo that's why i opted for it, don't care to go any bigger, ran 12.7 a month ago at edgewater so im completely satisfied

not really going for high horsepower, setting it up as my drift comp car for next year
