So this just occurred to me. When I was preparing for the Corksport event I was under the car and notice the the hose to the wastegate actuator was run a weird way and the line had a mild kink in it that I didn't like so I removed it and ran it a direct route from the boost controller to the actuator. I didn't really get into boost much on the way up there and back so I didn't notice it but I bet that line had a kink and now that it's fixed it was boosting more and screwing up my tune.
So many damn little things. Good thing it was rich. I also reset the boost gauge on the Good Box and the Prosport so I will see what the difference is on both now. The Good box boost gauge is fed from the "U" tube on the UIM and the Prosport is hooked up to the service port on the LIM.

Injector Dynamics - Drillbits and Dipshits
Have a look at this...and then read a couple of the other fuel injectors articles on this site and it will likely make things clearer

nice simple article !
searching around, those staying NA are recommended on the ID 1000's... or OEM is still better?

I'm still rocking factory injectors they have 150k on them, I had them cleaned and flow tested at 125k. Of course the yellows are uncapped now due to the turbo....
Anyways, It's not difficult to swap the injectors out, unless you are a tech at a mazda dealership.

He's a scumbag and a hack, plain and simple.

So it appears I have been chasing my tail. I started over on my tune fresh and spent the weekend tuning and got stalled on my bank 2 injectors and after several logging sessions, my bank 2 injectors (stock yellows with 133,000 miles) are off by as much as 17% and were mostly off anywhere from -0.08 to +0.17 (-8% to +17%).
So now the question is, do I get a couple of the numerous injectors we have laying around cleaned and flow tested or do I get brand new ones and have them flow tested and install them? Rebuilt injectors are also an option.
