My problem is very similar to the problem found here:
http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/problem-diagnosis/126419-bouncing-o2-voltage.html
However there is very little response to the problem and doesn't have a clear answer.
The ECU is supposed to ignore o2 readings at WOT.
Would faulty o2 wiring or sensor cause an osculation like that (at WOT)?
What about fuel pump voltage, or a bad alternator? (no rewired fuel pump)

After logging, it shows my timing is being pulled, back and forth. It goes from 10 to -5 to 7 to 0, etc. It's all over the map. I have a very small boost leak at the TB Shaft Seal. I have a GM MAFT, so boost leaks before would not be metered, and shouldn't cause me to run rich. Would bad plugs cause this, my plugs are about a year old. What else could cause this?
 
So are you saying that at WOT your o2 voltages are going up and down as if you were at idle and also your timing is going from 10* to -7* and back and fourth from + to -?
Explain what the problem is clearly, comparing your issue to the other post in the link is confusing. More details will help us figure out what's wrong with your car, if anything.
