What year car?
What mods?
What MegaSquirt?
Post Tune
Post Log showing both conditions
Post an introduction… maybe start there. It is sometimes considered impolite to walk into a room talking.

It's the first time ever on a forum for me so I'm not in tune with the necessary etiquette required. Sorry! I'm Colby and I have had my 1990 Miata with a 1.6 with a MS PNP 2 turboed for a while and was running totally fine until the end of the season last year when I ran into this problem all of a sudden. I was running about 12 pounds on an old turbo when I upgraded to a 2871 Garett and now run 20 pounds of boost. I was spiking lean so I figured I would see if maybe I was having an issue with my injectors which I had upgraded to a 320 at that point. This is also when my car started having the afore mentioned problem. So I figured I'd try my luck with some new Bosch 750cc injectors. (Cause maybe I crapped out an injector. Idk why I thought that but I did..) so I tried that and still the same issue so I tried both injectors and fiddling around with my ecu a bit (I am an absolute noob with ECU tuning and know very little bit ut wanted to try for myself as I have no one within 600 kms to take it to get it tuned. good ol' northern British columbia) I figured then that my problem may lie within a vacuum leak and I managed to get it idling good for enough time to let me go around with a propane bottle and squirt it around to see if I had a vacuum leak anywhere and nothing showed up. What confused me at this point is I had the car running with no flighty idle and a nice idle at 900 rpm. Then I turn the car off to see some stuff go to turn it on about 5 minuets later and the thing just shoots up to 2000 rpm. Sorry too for the long description. As for posting up my tune and data logs I am unsure about how to do that.. I'm very sorry. @DNMackinson

To post tune, click “Go Advanced”, then “Manage Attachments”. Then you follow instructions to upload files. It is a go or idea to save out your tune first as something other than “current tune” so that people who may download it have a unique ID.
Are you saying that you are running a stock ‘90 on 320cc injectors at 20 psi with a 2871?
I personally don’t have experience with MS2’s, or 1.6’s with non-variable throttle position sensors. So, I won’t be able to help.
One parting suggestion, However, go back and parse your long post into paragraphs for easier reading. You’ll get more responses if your posts are easy to read.
