    S14A misfiring :(

    Got s14a running stage 1 mods, driving normal its fine but on boost soon as you hit 3-4000 rpm it misfire and does not wan to go above the rev range. Dropped it to mechaninc he said airflow meter is the issue as he has a low mileage s15 from which he tried his AFM and it was fine, ive bought x2 used ariflow meters and it didnt fix the problem, is this a coincidence they were both faulty or am i missing something? bought the Afm from gduk so reputable seller. Any help would be good, he said coil packs are old but ok for now.

    They aren't going to see a crack in the wastegate on An mot will need elbow off as a minimum to even see it. Assuming it's an internal wastegate?

    How did you get on chap?
    I just braved 17psi (only had car a month) and noticed it's doing the same as you described... just refuses to move past 4000rpm but as soon as I switch boost back to 10psi its right as rain :/
