Full Throttle, full boost hesitation revisited

how about leaky cold-start injector? Is the mixture set right? You should 
try to figure out what's going on w/ the mixture at WOT...is it lean or 
rich...b/c both conditions cause hesitation. An AFR gauge works pretty well 
at this. I don't think there's much use in adjusting the fuel pressures, 
b/c the car works fine as designed, yer just trying to compensate for 
something that isn't working right...I think it's better off replacing it 
than having that component finally fail or losing the proper setting when 
things are fixed. just my opinion. good luck.
