evo 9 goes lean as soon as i hit boost

First off i'm on a fresh built motor. I'm getting around 40psi of fuel pressure on the FPR. Running FIC 1200cc injectors 91 pump gas.

As soon as I start to hit boost car leans out. It sounds like a subaru so obviously its misfiring. So i researched last night and came across the cam angle sensor may be going bad or the disruptor thingy inside could be 180 degrees off and that could cause my problems. So today i put the motor at TDC checked the disruptor and sure enough it was 180 off so i fixed that and then started the car. let it idle for about 5min then went for a drive...

But same thing happens. As soon as I start to hit boost the car leans out. it doesnt sound like a subaru anymore it idles 10x better but im completely lost. What could be causing this?

Another fuel pressure problem.

You haven't said under what conditions you've got 40 PSI.

When 1 pump Is on. Activating it from evoscan. Or idling. I can jump the hobbs switch and activate the 2nd pump and I get around 42psi

your intake manifold pressure line is probably not connected to the FPR

What FPR? I had a defective Fuelab FPR that would cause the car to go lean unless I slowly rolled on to the throttle. Swapped it for an OEM and I no longer have issues.
You may not be able to do this because of your pumps though - I am running (2) 255's, the 450 is probably way too much pump for an OEM FPR.

the FPR vacuum line is connected to the intake. One of the first things i checked. i also wired the double pumpers to run all the time and same thing. Ill hit up my tuner.

I have an extra map sensor I'll swap that out and see if my tuner has time tomorrow to remote desktop tune. I live in a area that doesn't have tuners. He lives in another state. I'll post the outcome. Thank you guys.
