91 200q power loss @ WOT
Need collective wisdom. After various testing, car loses power
(mildly) when foot to the floor. Feels like a mild surge, or knock
sensors reducing timing or boost. If I lift up a little, car pulls
much better. Only last 2-3 psi of boost affected. Before TAP spring
this occured @1.6-1.7 bar. Now it happens @1.8-1.9bar. Seems to
rule out ignition and fuel delivery. Car was recently adjusted on 4
gas flow meter for emissions. Could it be WOT switch? I thought WOT
closed looped the OXS, thereby running rich. Feels like car going
lean, not rich. OXS replaced 1 year ago and seems to work(notice a
slight stumble about 30 seconds after start up which I assume is OXS
kicking in). Disconnecting OXS doesn't affect WOT problem. Can't
believe it is too rich @1.9 bar. Car pulls great until WOT and heavy
boost. Bad WOT switch? Air mass sensor/potentiometer? All
suggestions welcomed. TIA
