So I just started having this problem yesterday with my SR. The motor is a stock blacktop SR with a GT2871R, Z32 maf, and 555cc injectors. The car drives completely fine unless I floor it and build boost. When I do that the car starts to boost and when it hits around 4k, its almost like hitting a rev limitter. I thought it was a boost leak but my vaccum gauge reads -.75bar of vaccum which is the exact same as what I had before the problem. Just in case I checked and tightened all the intercooler piping and couplers but I still have the same problem. I definitely get a reading from the MAF, so the connection is ok. Car idles fine and drives fine around town unless I boost. It's been raining constantly for the past week, could it have something do with some sensor getting wet? Any help is appreciated

make sure your o2 sensor is fully working and check all three wires, ground 12v and ecu signal
