I have a 98 eclipse gst and im having massive bogging problems :(
First and second gear pull hard but all other gears the car bogs out really hard only when i am under heavy acceleration. I have an air/ fuel gauge (narrow band) and when i hit wot it runs really rich falls on its face and then a/f guage goes crazy then goes back to running really rich.
Mods:
16g turbo
knock off greddy type s bov.
cat back exhaust

First off, scarp the narrowband or put it on your christmas tree. The flashing lights will be more useful there.

Second, what are you running for boost? Do you have any type of fuel management/fuel upgrades?

Third, have you done a boost leak test?

I am planning on that when i get some money for a wideband, you are on point with that analogy haha.

I am running 10lbs of boost and no fuel management at all :/
No boost leak either.
 
Is your fuel pump at least rewired? Could definitely be fuel cut.

Any sort of logger you can get your hands on?
 
I had this recently with my knock sensor, it was sensing knock that was not there and pulled the timing, does the bogging feel like your timing is being pulled? if so, you may want to check the knock sensor.
