It's just not smart enough to add fuel fuel based on boost unlike other cars like Hondas where there is a MAP sensor and fuel maps extending into boost.

So like I said, the easiest thing to do is an FMU. When you add boost, it raises the fuel pressure in relation. Giving you the extra fuel required from stock injectors.

Thanks, I appreciate this answer.
