Is the screen in the MAF still in good shape?

Guys, I really hate to admit it but somehow removing the snorkel did indeed solve my issue.... I did two passes this morning and it held boost all the way to the limiter. I dont get it but I am not going to complain.

It is the only air source for the stock air box. So I guess if it somehow got sucked against the hood this could happen. Crazy stuff. Glad you finally got it figured out.

That's just weird. And it's fastened to the radiator support?? Stock bumper cover, hood, etc? Hood is aligned properly?
I never, ever would have suspected that.
either way, who cares? FIXED!

I really dont see how it could suck to the hood. I was looking at it last night and just didnt see how it would be possible. But apparently it is possible.

No, I did not have it fastened down. I had the air box out so many times over the past couple weeks I just left it like that. But, even when it was fastened down, it did the same thing. Thats why I didnt think it was the issue. And yep, stock bumper cover, hood is perfectly aligned, all the factory foam seals are still there and in good shape. Dont know... No longer care.... And now back to tuning.

Glad to see it was simple. I had a hunch that may have been it.
