2 months aint nothing, try 2 years. I had a 1994 RX7 that I dropped $15k, went To4R, setup for about 500 to the wheels...had a tuner come out from Texas 3 times in a 2 year period because the car would go lean above 5000 rpms. So I went 2 years with absolutely no boost because I would have popped my motor. Sold the car, turns out the throttle position sensor was installed upside down so the secondaries (1600's) weren't coming online! Oh well, maybe it was meant to be...he fixed the problem and during tuning blew the apex seals out the exhaust

**update**
Huge boost leak was found at the LICP. The t-bolt clamp was cockeyed and the coupler was slipped off the pipe. As soon as the boost leak check started all you could hear was air rushing out of it. After that was fixed, another check was ran and one of the t's for the vacuum lines was leaking as well. Problem is now solved, no boost more boost leak. I think this would explain the reason I boost tapered so bad and why the turbo had such a lazy boost curve.
Tuner is a stand up guy, I called him with my find and he's paying the shop who did the boost leak check and fixed the problem. Also going to retune my car and get those AFR's under check I hope at around 11.7 - 12.2 ish
I will post results once the car is done...AGAIN lol
