Help...boosted on highway, then car acts like major vac leak!
First time post in I don't know how many years. Still have the car, but haven't been driving much. Have a bunch of kids now, but I still have the toy.
I was on the highway this morning and gave her the beans on the on ramp, then noticed my wideband showing rich and my vac at 0-1psi during cruise shortly after the boost! Pulled over at the next exit ramp hoping that it was a typical hose blow off....nothing, couldn't find any leak. Engine would just die if get off the throttle, so I didn't have a chance to hear anything under the hood. Checked intercooler hoses and VTA blow off valve and didn't see any problems there. Managed to run huge rich at cruise, while bov was fluttering and limped it home (i was smoking pretty good out the tailpipe too). No check engine light apparent, but haven't got the car on jack stands yet. I'll maybe record a video later on today.

I know I should use the search function, but I've been out of the game so long. Is the MSPNP the way to go? I think anything would be an improvement over the AFM, Emanage blue, vortech fpr, hp fuel pump setup. Will my CEL stay on if I went to MS?
