Right now I actually beleive that the ECU "learned" the setup. The car runs perfect, 15 psi with 3" mandrel bent exhaust, no cats, K&N cones and stock ECU. Is the computer capable of "learning" to run better? In the beginning I was hitting fuel cut consistently in the top of second and transition in 3rd (the car is automatic), but as soon as I hit 15,000 original miles, it disappeared. Could there be a protection program in the first 15000 miles? I have never heard of such a thing. I also don't think the stock ECU can "adjust" itself to run 15 psi unrestricted without any knock or fuel cut. But after hitting fuel cut more than 50 times, the car runs smooth and very stong, no more hesitation. I didn't change anything, can anybody tell me what happened???

Yes sir, my spark plugs are white as snow.... 
Running octane booster and half throttle are my ridiculous ways of trying to avoid knock. Fuel cut, which is also bad for the motor has been saving my ***. Normally when I race I stay in "S" (2nd gear on AT) and I floor 1st and let off at 6000 rpm allowing it to shift then floor it again carefully..... this is gay I can't wait to port my WG

You need to port the wastegate, or add some restriction to the exhaust (hi flow cat, stock cat, restrictive cat-back, restrictor plates [i have a few]), otherwise you will get creep.
