On a bigger turbo with 660-680s on a 2G you often enough up being in the -42% to -50% range on the AFC. The main drawback to going so far negative on the AFC is that it puts the ECU into the wrong airflow maps and often trys to run too much timing, which results in knock. 2Gs don't run nearly as much timing as a 1G, so that might help a little, and without a DSMLink to see if it's knocking or not you won't know how much it is retarding timing, so you can instead just pretend it's fine. It should run fine though, I hope you have a FMIC for that much boost.

Thanks for the info. So your saying if i got the 680s it would in effect be fine, just a lot of negatives. But if i got the 550s that would put me less negative correct?
I have a FMIC, its just not installed or piped up on the car yet, would that work. LOL Ive run 16-20 on a daily for the past 8 months without hitting any fuel cut, but we will see i guess. LOL
The shop im going to said that Cams might help out as well, but i dunno...
