Hey Dude,

I had the same problem when pulling up to the lights after dropping down gears... Go to your local car shop and buy some Throttle Body cleaner... I did this today and cleaned all of my AAC and sprayed some in the air box and throttle control... I took my car for a run once complete and now it's fine!!!

Make sure you give all pipes around your air box a good spray and clean!

Good Luck!!!!

if none of that works make sure your AFM element is clean, if you've had a oil pod filter on it the oil will make its way onto the element, spray with with circut contact cleaner, comes up like new,

i also highly recommend cutting open the box that hold the circuitry on your AFM and check for corrosion on the circuit board and on the 3 pins that lead to the plug,

when i did mine it will full of orange corrosion on the circuit board and on the 3 pins, i had to re solder the pins.

if corrosion is left to build up it will create shorts where they touch.

you can seal the box back up with black silicon window goo, pretty sure silicon based gasket goo would work as well.

good luck

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
