extremely bad storm last night, drove home and hit plenty of big puddles but my intake is pretty high up.
I took off the intercooler and piping no water in either
sparkplugs are clean, brand new a few days before
cap and rotor have no water on them, just got my exhaust made last week as well lol, too lazy to post pictures
but 3" from the downpipe back, gonna make a 3" downpipe soonish, being lazyy

but yeah, car isn't driving right anymore. I used to have 20 vacuum at 2k rpm in 4th gear but now it's stumbling at about 12-13 vacuum at 2k rpm in 4th. It feels really weird

Hopefully someone can give me a fast answer when I wake but my car has been a bit finicky lately.
It recently would die mid-drift after a transition of some sort. Flick blah blah manji it didn't matter.
With a full tank or half tank, it does it.
So we pulled it to a friends house since it's around the corner and started messing with it, I noticed my BOV isn't opening as easily anymore. I was a little confused about that but it might be because I'm not even boosting yet.

SO! I got the car to run WITHOUT the MAF connected to the turbo but was connected on the harness. It would idle fine and rev okay as long as it was under 15 vacuum.
So in order to rev it I'd manually apply some "vacuum" to the MAF and it'd rev fine and turbo flutter like ****.
Now the interesting part. everytime no matter what, if I connect the maf to the turbo housing the car immediately shuts off.
HELP ME OUT PLEASE

Have you rebuilt the AFM? Have you tested the AFM according to the FSM? Are your connections to the AFM/ECU good?

Got the car running again, pulled apart the maf, the connections are clean and not damaged in anyway. Tightened the spring for the maf flap thingy ma jigger and she runs fine. But upon further investigation the car idles at 29 fuel pressure like usual but when going into boost, at 4 psi the car is smooth and pulls nicely, hitting 5 pounds results in the car hick-uping I suppose

got the 255 ready to go in and we'll see from there I guess
