i need hep, my car is acting all weird :(

man i've been having some weird problems with my afr's lately i have a cutout and when i got tuned the cutout was open my afr's were around 11.4-11.6 at WOT, i decided to close the cutout a couple days ago and i thought nothing bad would happen if i just did a lil 3rd gear pull, well the afr's went down to about 11.1-10.9 so i thought nothing bad about it.

then i decided to do another pull and the afr's went all the way down to 10.0 and as soon as i saw that i stopped, i open the exhaust and try to do another pull and the same thing happen and the car doesnt pull like it used to

me and my friend raced on a closed road he has a stock STI and i bearly put a car on him so i know something is def. wrong because before i had the meth i would put 2 cars on him and he had a cobb stage one ... so can anyone with any help or info help me

my car did that when I had a boost leak where the Turbo and the outlet elbow meet. fixed that and my AFRs where normal again.... do a boost leak test.... the opening and closing of your cutout maybe coincidence.

Same problem for me. 10.0 to 11.4 afr. Definetly a boost leak. Every 2 days I have to tighten and adjust my T-Bolt clamps. They just keep on sliding of the coupler to my UICP. Very annoying. Once tightened I'm back to 14.4 - 14.7 afr. Getting it fixed by my tuner this weekend.

Try off and on for a month! LOL. I'm trying to avoid buying the complete IC pipping which will probably run me $300-$450. Can't drop that money right now.
