It really depends on the dump pipe design, mine was a HKS and had a blanking plate near the wastegate which I believe stopped it from doing its job properly.



What exhaust system do you have Zeratul?

What do you mean by it just cut off? did the Revs drop right down even with foot down?

Foot down, wen it reached 5k. it jut cut off for like .5 second...sorta like hitting limiter and bounce back. Afterwards it will climb again.

Do you have the standard airbox or a pod on the intake?

Pod. I know all about the non-oil/oil stuff. This one is non-oiled(apexi power intake) If the next few days, idle starts going funny, it means the AFM is fucked again. Then im going to change back to stock.

You can keep the pod on.... just get a Link ECU and you won't need the AFM anymore

You can still have problems with the PFC Z32, as I found out when I had a pod. In big rain car wouldn't make full boost, so it's not a sure fire fix. However, went to an airbox, haven't had any problems. All it is, is water having fun with your AFM
