2 different readings!

Did a couple pulls the other day had been getting 11,8-12.1 at wot in 4rd so i lowered the boost!..at 22-23psi holding at 20

Today did some from 2-5th gear in My 3rd gear pull only held at 19psi but my innovate still said 11.9 4th gear held at 20-21 psi and so did 5th...

So my question is how can i get AFR to come down any further I guess because im already running unde stock boost st 3rd WOT

OR what could be causing my conflicting readings?

thanks

What were the temperatures when you did each pull? Temp and barometric pressure might cause it to fluctuate. To put it in simpler terms, every time the weather changes, so does your boost and power output, if you're using a mbc anyway.

How old is your Wb? maybe you need to recalibrate the sensor.
Also if you didn't tune for the filter, might need a retune.

Lowering boost won't necessarily get you richer AFR's if you reach lower load cells which have leaner values in them. If you want a different AFR then adjust the fuel map, not boost.

Well the filter might not effect your idle, but its probably taking in more air under WOT. Also you won't get the same exact afrs all the time. Especially if you do back to back pulls, everything is heated up now the ecu will compensate by adding more fuel. Just look for consistency, 11.8, 11.9, 12.1 is pretty consistent. Just consistently lean though. Like Raptord said, Just add some fuel in those areas.
