Default Unknown problem fixed

Well i didnt even know there was a problem but i fixed it lol..it all started when we were just piddling with our cars..i was cleaning up my engine bay since my buddy had a home made vacuum manifold just layin around so i put that on and did some more cleaning up as well...so i finish that and i remember that i had a valve cover bolt that was broken just sitting there resting on the valve cover not doing anything...and rather than trying to extract the broken bolt i decided to just tap and plug the hole because i could visually see on my hood where oil was spraying a little out of that hole...but not out the bottom of the valve cover..so i finish that and before installing my plugs i go ahead and clean them up on the wire brush wheel....so i go and fire it up..everything is fine so i take it for a drive..HOLY CRAP it boosts 15psi so im thinkin ok maybe i had a boost leak and fixed it with my new vacuum plumbing..so i turn the boost down to where it holds at just under 11psi and the thing absolutly RIPS it is so much faster than it was before...at the same boost level...so i turn the boost controller off to see if my boost would be higher than the 7.5 i use to get with the controller off but no it was the same 7.5 BUT it ran so much stronger i usually hate running 7psi but i was pretty happy with how it pulled..so im kinda confused as to what i fixed and im curious if any of you might have an idea? just out of curiousity...my other thoughts were maybe i wasnt getting vtec becuase i was losing a little oil pressure out of that bolt hole? but that doesnt seem feasable

I dont know what you fixed, but Im gald that its pulling harder. I would get it retuned now or throw it back onto the dyno and see if your AFR has changed at all. Have fun!
