over boost question.

over boost question.
So i do not really know what section to put this in so il just go with general chat..
So i have had a FM voodoo 2 kit on my 91 for about 7 months with a voodoo box and msd box. I finally got away from all that and picked up a msextra. so the problem i am having is i am over boosting. On the previous set up witch was 1.8 injectors with AFM MSD box and voodoo fuel piggy back i was showing 10PSI on my gauge WOT. After installing my megasquirt and removing my AFM and installing an IAT since i removed the AFM i removed the recirculating portion of the valve and have it venting to atmosphere i set my over boost control for 178.5 KPA roughly 11.5 psi and it is fuel cutting and gauge is showing up to 12psi .
My question is what could have changed for this to happen? Any advice for where to look?

TL;DR: You are making more boost because you reduced the plumbing losses in from of the turbo inlet. Adjust you boost controller to compensate.
Edit: except the MAF really isn't that much of a restriction, is it? Tell us about how your wastegate, BOV, boost controller, MAP sensor and gauge are plumbed. Be specific, draw us pretty MSPaint pictures if that's easier.

If you open overboost protection and change it from 178kpa to 300kpa that should fix the problem.
Check the signal to your wastegate, make sure it's reading the same pressure the manifold is getting (attached to wastegate, no holes, no kinks). Make sure the wastegate actuator is adjusted properly as well, if it's too tight it won't open all the way and will cause you to overboost. If you have an air compressor you can turn it down real low and see exactly how it reacts when pressure is fed to the actuator which helps identify issues and get it adjusted properly.
