Why does my MAP decline slightly over WOT pull?

Why does my MAP decline slightly over WOT pull?
On this street pull, the log shows that MAP falls off slightly as RPMs approach 7K.
Is this a bad map sensor or a leak in the hose? I used a 1/8" hose which is actually a bit smaller something like 7/64ths.
How badly will this affect tuning?
There is alot of noise in the AFR, I was trying a different ground which is worse than what I was using when I tuned VE.
I am grounded to the engine above the TB, which I heard was the ECU ground. Is there a better ground, or should I be using shielded wire?

Where is your wastegate gettings it's boost signal? If it's right off the compressor housing, that's probably your problem. Try moving it to your cold side pipe, as close to the throttle body as possible.

Everything in your intake tract is a restriction. The air filter, the throttle body, the inlet piping itself, all restrictions.
The pressure drop across a restriction is proportional to the volume flow per unit time through said restriction. The more air you try to pull through the intake system, the more pressure drop across it.
Try this experiment: Get a common drinking straw. Put it between your lips, and inhale through it very slowly. Feel much resistance? Nope- very little restriction. Now, inhale through it very rapidly. A lot harder, eh? And your MAP (Mouth Absolute Pressure) drops considerably as well. If you were to install a hose-barb fitting through the side of your cheek, you'd be able to instrument this and see basically the same effect as in your log.
That's all you're seeing here. It means that everything is working normally, and your engine is obeying the laws of physics.
