Surely, you cannot be serious. Put some more information(especially how you know it's running lean) into to this, or it's probably gonna get locked and sent to the dead end thread section.
 
IF you look at my mod list in my profile you will see that I have done a 6bolt swap.
After I did that swap I was throwing a random miss fire code so in order to get that to stop I followed the Magnus Motorsports method to get that to stop. Which said that it would cause me to run a litle lean. The problem I am having is that I Around 3500-4000 rpm I am having a huge power drop off and I can here my turbo spool'n but no power? You would think that its a boost leak but I already went down that route and I do not have a boost leak, also my car did not do this until I did this mod to get rid of the CEL. So I have searched and searched and heard that there is a way to do it on the MAF but I am not sure how to. SO to get back to what I was asking about how can I get my car to add more fuel w/o an AFC?
 
how would I do that? are you talking A GM MAFT?
Isn't there a way that I can get my stock fuel system to run a little richer by doing somthing to my stock MAF I thought there was a screw on there that I could adjust but I just don't know where it is?

You are thinking about fiddling with your MAF honeycombs, You're severly misunderstood, First you need to list more info on your thread. Second, list what you think it is, Then, do research on NOT JUST your problem- but your theoretic solution!

Fiddling with your honeycombs is not a tuning method- Do yourself a favor and a get an SAFC, second- stock (free) MAF mods will only lean out your mixture more- It is successfully ADDING MORE air to your mixture, So just get an SAFC and fix your problem correctly, and safely:thumb:
 
thank you if you can help me think of any thing else that It might be then that would be apperciated but I think its to late I have to get a new turbo know It just started smoking bad and still sounds like Its boosting strong but no power and now blue smoke
 
That really sucks- Was it always turbo timed after running, also- did it have sufficient water and oil- check your lines!- You dont want to ruin your New Turbo now do you!- just check anyway.
 
I am running a timer and I am blowing them do to too high of oil pressur I have BSE kit and am running my oil feed line for my turbo off of my oil filter housing and I need to run it off of my head so I am trying to source out the banjo bolt to tap into there so maybe I will not blow any more turbos ( this is my third ) do you think that It would spool up strong and get no powere out of it from it blowing another seal?
