Ace, what does your O2 map look like? If it's for a wideband, send me your tune. If it's for a narrowband, don't bother lol.

I would <3 to learn how to use FIC lol
oh and what I was talking about last night was.
I have an apexi avcr. My boost solenoid that is a part of the apexi avcr, messed up a long time ago. I had to too close to the turbo =p
So I got a replacement one, and hooked up the vacuum sources wrong.
The solenoid had 3 fittings which are marked. COM/NC/NO.
Which mean Common/Normally Closed/Normally Opened.
So the hoses were set up wrong. So when I went to try and boost, it wouldn't maintain boost at 0.5bar (7psi). Which is what my wastegate spring is at. I actually went up almost to 1bar (14psi). I'm talking in bar because the apexi, doesn't have a psi conversion. It reads Bar in boost, and MMhg in vaccuum.
But anyways the Boost controller can't hold boost lower than the wastegate spring. Sooooo using the trusty apexi unit, I set it to hold boost at 0.5bar, ended up overboosting.
So that sucked. So I set the solenoid to off instead of on. So it won't regulate boost at all. It still wound up overboosting. So thats when I figured out, I got the hoses mismatched.
Oh, and to top it all off. Shortly after, on the highway. My rear left tire popped, and the car decided it wanted to drive itself to the lane right next to me.
Blah, lol.
