Sounds like you have a boost leak. Is your boost gauge on the hot side or of the manifold? Stock setup?

well this is it i thought it could of been the secondary injectors because they usually kick in at around 4K but when i push the gas in sounds like it wants to boost but it just doesnt it runs fine under 4K rpm's

Go get a boost leaker tester. They're cheap. Like 15-30 depending on where u get it or if you make it, but u definitely have a boost leak. If it were secondaries you would know by how it drives above 4k whether ur boosting or cruisin

Your afm is mounted horribly, flip it over and make sure it's level then report back.

Thumbs up progress???

is that ur dd? I was wondering if u figured out whats going on. I'm assuming u got a ecu upgrade if u got fmic( upgraded or aftermarket turbo)I don't see a need for a fmic on a bone stock turbo. Anyway if u do or don't have the car hooked up to a diagnostic machine. I kno I kno, wasted money but if it gets u boosting proper the 120 is worth it!

With the car cold and the rad cap on the thermostat neck removed start the car. Do you see air bubbles coming up? Sparkplugs wet after the car sits? Does the white smoke smell sweet?

your afm is mounted on backwards.. try making it sit upright then look at your readings again. My afm used to be mounted on backwards aswell and at times i would get crazy readings. good luck
