Did a compression this morning because my car has no power under boost ( from right to left 150, 150, 135, 145).. It boosts fine. But when I go WOT the car sounds like its flooding with AIR or FUEL and not responding to boost. I just put in a SAFC2 and have evrything set to 0( so I think). I found out I have a bad front o2 sensor but doubt thats the prob. Anyone ever experianced this or have any clue on what I can do next?
 
Well, compression on #3 is a little low compared to the other cylinders, but it seems you're JUST within spec......

Have you checked your car for boost leaks? This is probably the #1 cause of lost power under boost in the DSM world.
 
Do you have stock injectors? It wouldn't be o2 sensor because they really don't do anything under WOT.
 
Yes I have stock injectors with 135,000 miles on them. I have a ported 14b all bolt ons, 255 walbro, intake, HUGE FMIC, manual boost controller etc. I have the car running 10 lbs atm, used to run 20 lbs like a raped ape! Now all I get is lots of damn air/fuel when WOT! I will redo all innercooler cuffs and check for leaks the best I can. Gunna get that O2 replaced along with injectors/electronic boost controller, egt gauge etc and try and tune the best I can. All I can think of is too much air or fuel or boost leak or crap injectors. Thanks for all your replies as I could use afew more hints on what I should look over.
