SUPER lean under boost

A few weeks back i went to Moore Automotive(good guys) and had some things done one of then being switchin over to tephra rom for force patch. Since the my idle has been bad, sometimes cuts off and goes WAY lean under boost, im talking high 15+ on my aem wideband. Cruise/part throttle is fine. Before this I was boosting at about 11.5 under wot i don understand what could have went wrong. Car feels like it has NO power, just a bunch of noise now.

+1000! Well said! Please don't go into boost.

When I was first reading this I thought maybe your WB was going out, but since you said it's driving bad and makes noise then something is up.

My first guess is injector scaling is off. Take it back ASAP. GL.

Edit: I just looked through my PM's and you've been dealing with this awhile. Have you tried talking to them? I wish you the best of luck and if you need anything just let me know.

What do you mean they switched over your rom? It could be an injector, fuel pump, or check your intake if its bolted on properly, Ive seen it before.

Just don't get on it until your issue is resolved. If you don't have the funds for a tune / supporting mods, you definitely don't have the funds for an engine rebuild. Take it easy until you can get this guy figured out.

Unfortunate situation came up that put me in tough financial state. I only drive it part throttle.

Happens to everyone... Lean under boost will blow your **** up, though, and it doesn't sound like that's what you need right now. Just get the lean problem resolved first and then you can get back to driving
