Went to Carlsbad Raceway today
Well, today I went to the 1/4 track and ran a total of 5 times. My first two runs were done on the conservative side at my lower boost setting of .65BAR. I ran a 15.0 and 15.3 beating a GST convetible and losing to a 99 Mustang GT on slicks. My third run was against an 99SS Camaro and I ran with .8BAR and hit a 14.7 to his 14.2. I was pissed though as I killed him off the line and my car was misfiring due to a vacuum leak, I think I coulda done better that run. Oh well. My 4th run, was against a 95 or 96 Z28 Camaro and I beat it running a 14.389@98.16 to his 14.497@99.21. I was shocked and so were a bunch of die hard domestic lovers. My last run was against another GT Mustang and the stupid tree operator didn't give me enough time to get my turbo prespool from powerbraking. 
I ran a 14.549@98.79 to the GT's 14.572@99.72. I lost that run btw cause he beat me off the line by a tenth of a second. :cry: Anyway, I was just happy to run a 14.3 with a full tank of gas and a set of tools in my car. My 60' times were killing me though. 2.4-5 all day no matter how hard I tried. Seems like the turbo is bogging is lagging massively. I'm going to try to find the source tomorrow as this was seriously handicapping me.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into that as I'm about to go outside to work on the car to see what's up about this bog/lag.
Oh and my timeslips are on my cardomain site.

Best to remove the kick panel cover over the ecu and very lightly move the wire bundle about 2 inches from the connector.
If that's the problem, you can't really go back and are condemned to wiggling until you either figure out whether it's the board, the connectors, or the wires breaking inside the insulation where they make the 90 degree turn.
I've seen all three on three different cars with the same results.............running lean. A lazy O2 sensor will cause problems and they only seem to cause problems when you've got a mustang trying to pull you in traffic.
