So I woke up this morning and decided to see if my stutterbox works (I just got a dsmchip). I started it up and held it to the floor and the stutterbox worked. I did it a couple different times (just havin fun). Then when I went to leave the house I noticed my spool was much quicker so I looked down at the boost gauge. It normally reads 16hg under vacuum. It was reading 18-19ish. And under WOT it feels much better. I had to turn my AFC from -3 to +2 to keep it from knocking.

Any ideas what was "wrong" before? Only thing I can think of is that the wastegate was not shutting all the way before??.. maybe something was caught?
 
Your wastegate wouldnt give you a vacuum leak, but maybe the seal in it was loose if your spool did increase. Some seal somewhere probably got a good jolt from the kick of the studderbox and may have reseated possibly. Good fortune but I wouldnt be suprised if it poked its ugly head again. Stock vacuum is supposed to be 18-19
