What got wet?!

So I'm driving today on highway at coast speed. Car has boosted 21.5 psi alllllllllll day and for the past week it comes a huge shower and now I'm at 12 psi and rich (10.8) ish. Checked all the lines from mbc to the turbo as well as the bov and wastegate no cuts leaks loose hose. Seems like something got wet???

Check intercooler Piping to make sure couplers didn't get loose.

Ok I will check that but it literally did it as soon as it started raining hard so I figured some was damp restricting flow but I'll check the couplers when I get home!

spray maf cleaner on the maf, jsut watch out for the little red wire at top of the inside of it, thats for the heater wire. Other then that u mustve torn or loosened a coupler, im sure it was on the licp, thats where mine always pops off.
