The dyno proves what my *** has been telling me... I have a flat spot in my power curve right around 4000 rpm. I know this isn't right, but has anyone else run into this problem? I plan on putting a bung in my O2 pipe and doing some wideband runs on tuesday, but from what I can tell right now it is dumping fuel at that point and then just burning off the fuel as I rev higher. I am running 10psi on the stock turbo (going bad if anyone has an S14 turbo with a boost up ecu, ARC sidemount, and cat back exhaust.All I can think of right now is that my ECU has a crappy chip, MAF is haywire, or the injectors are maxing out. What do you guys think?

Hmmm, what are you doing with the butterfly's? That is around where they turn on/off. I think the first step is to follow what you're planning and get a wideband on there and see what's going on with the A/F ratio's. I really don't think your maxing the injectors or MAF out, but I think boost cut is at 11psi, perhapse you're getting a little close to it. Also, do you have the knock sensor hooked up?

Sidenote: Lemme know if you pull your turbo, I"m looking for a blown stock CA turbo.
