G'day Jake,
if you have these symptoms,
* when mildly accelerating not using boost, the motor ran O.K.
* when coming on boost, it would stumble
* and when on boost it was very lacking in power
* overall poor driveability
then I the same prob too, about a week back. I tried everything you did,
fuel system, checked leads, loom etc. I thought that maybe the airflow was
stuck, but it was fine. It turned out to be a bad connection between the
loom and computer. By unpluging and pluging the ECU back in (several times
if need be), it appears to take some tarnish off the connectors. After
that, mine was 100% again.
Be careful if trying to fang it when it's playing up. When mine was, the
mixture meter was showing full lean when driving around, and when on boost,
barely came up to normal, let alone rich.
Hope this helps,
Wardy
