Car falling on face when accelerating

ok so whenever i start my car after not being in it for a couple hours or more and let it warm up completely it falls on its face every gear when i hit boost. when i first accelerate in every gear it feels almost as if the wastegate dosnt open or its not getting fuel? but the second time or any time after i accelerate and hit boost in any gear the car works fine??

i thought of a boost leak but if it was a boost leak it wouldnt work fine after i went through the gear once it would still leak. and heat soak. this is when i first start the car and start driving

I wouldn't call this out of nowhere and it's very likely that you already answered your own question. Stupidity like that can cost.

Boost on a cold motor is a bad no no.

Anyway check all your vacuum lines especially your fuel pressure regulator line.

Then do a boost leak test.

do you a stock airbox? sounds exactly like leaving the clips out of the snorkel on the factory airbox.

The reason i didnt get an AFR guage yet was because someone told me it dosnt work with the stock ecu?? dosnt the AEM AFR kit have a computer or some brain of its own that dosnt even connect to the stock ecu or what?
