Default losing power at Boost

I have a 98 accord ..with fmax kit. 4.5 psi spring in the tial, i have my boost controler all the way down b/c my mf2 is fried for now. it was fine before the weekend, I could hit 3 psi with no additional fuel..with no problems,,, but on my way to work today.. when i read 0 or above. it seriously bogs. i think it could be the missing link.. any ideas.

No I wasnt thinkin fuel related .. i was thinking the stock ecu was killing me if the map saw boost... however.. i just went for a drive and i noticed that if i give open throttle when taking off...i get boost at like 2- 2.5K so why am i getting all my boost at such low rpm's and why is it going limp on me....(the car)


and no CEL

yes. you should get a cel. what fuel management do u have? its definately a fuel thing too because the stock ecu doesnt have a fuel map for boost when the map reads it. u need some way to make it so the ecu doesnt see boost or u need a chipped ecu that can handle it or lastly run the hack
