i have a maft setup with a safc... the car runes great.. untill it hits full boost... u think i may have a boost leak?
 
I'm not sure. It never hurts to check. A boost leak may cause it to run rich enough to make it backfire. But it'd have to be a huge leak. Does it boost fine? Does it feel fast or like something is holding it back?
 
its a fp "red" so the spool is slow as hell.. once it hits about 18psi its like i hit rev limiter... its really odd.. i think the timing may be off or a leak... i read 10.5:1 on my wideband
 
maybe check out / replace your plugs.
my car was doing something like that whenever i went past 10lbs and i had my mbc set to 14lbs so whenever i hit full boost it would back fire, or sputter or whatever you want to call it. replaced the plugs and runs like a beaut.
my .02
 
i change the plug and poof! RUNS LIKE A BEAST!!!!! oh my fooking god.. i recommend a FP "RED" to everyone!

THANKS GUYS FOR THE HELP!!
