My car stumbles at high boost, I don't think it's fuel cut because I've
been searching this forum and reading other posts about fuel cut and
my car doesn't suddenly jerk to a halt or anything like that, it just stumbles and backfires for a split second then continues accelerating. I kept my eye on my boost gauge and noticed that this stumbling only occurs when I reach 20 psi. Alot of people on this forum suggested that it might be fouled plugs or a boost leak. I ran my car at 16 psi and it ran perfectly fine with no stumbling or backfiring. Shouldn't my car stumble all the time if I had a boost leak or fouled plugs?? Also I should mention that I recently just installed 550 injectors and safc. I have my high throttle corrections set to -15@1k and gradually decreasing to
-18@7k. I'm planning on installing an aem wideband o2 on Monday so I can monitor my afr's. Anyways, I just wanted to know what you guys think might be the problem??

get NGK BRES's and gap them at .028. Get new wires. Don't boost that high on your turbo without more mods.
