    after putting back my 2.5 short intake back(over stock) and fixed my exhaust resonator crack, my fuel/air gauge starts to read stoich most of the time and when at full throttle about 5000 rpm it starts to go to stoich again. I have never had this problem before until tonite i pushed the car. Can anyone help me out what is making it run stoich after these changes i did. And my boost reads 0.5-1psi less. Is it suppose to be like that? The car pulls better at lower RPM but is less strong at higher rpm, help pls

    It sounds like the intake is a real improvement and is supplying more air to the engine. This could be leaning it out.

    Add more fuel and see what happens.

    Might try resetting the ECU also.
    It may have "learned" your old setup.

    Worth a shot.

    If you messed with the exhaust did you work around the O2 sensor(s)? Seems like the next place to check for a problem.

    thanks for the advice.
    i dont think the O2 sesnor is bad.
    but i do notice a litle punch after fixing the craked resonator.
    Psi seems to be about .5-1 psi lower. Is this normal or at least a good sing?
    thanks

    That small of a boost change could be just weather. It doesn't make sense with what you did.
