You will be suprised what you will find! from cracked vacume hose's to loose couplers! I even had a leak in my IC on my eclipse!
Good luck.. If you dont know what a boost leak tester is pm me.. One can be had for around 7 dollars

these things are amazing def a turbo car neccisity i used it so many times on my dsm, found that i had a leak at the manifold =]

ahh yess perfect...i forgot all about pre-turbo leaks....they kill! look for any leaks at the turbo manifold and where it connects to the block and turbo, but also check all pipes

wanna see my perfect explanation to a decent afr with a pre turbo leak and boost leaks..
the boost leak in pipes will cause him to loose bost and run rich, which is whats happening if the car stutters upon wot, this will cause a rich afr then add an exhaust leak(which adds leaner readings....you have a decent afr =]
LOL
check pipes...clean maf, check vaccum lines and manifold

so went down to a local shop and they tested for a boost leak everything was fine. THey checked out the fuel trims they were fine as well. So it looks like the culprit was the temperature in the last week the temp has gone up from the 50's and 60's to the 80's and 90's. I guess i didnt realize how much temperature could effect performance. Also im probably use to the power so it may not feel like it used too. The temp is also why im assuming my afr's have gone so rich under boost. Hotter air is less dense thus less air to fuel. It was tuned in like 40 degree weather.
