Lee,
Yes I was more or less repeating meme meme...
Is the over-boost protection fuel cut-off mechanism active
when the over-boosting occurs? If you're not getting fuel
cut-off then this would suggest MAP sensor to me.
If there is a leak in the hose to the MAP sensor that only
opens under high boost then most of the time fuel metering
will be correct, but would tend to lean out in this over-boost
condition (BAD). If the MAP sensor is faulty who knows
what is happening to the fuel metering. The MAP sensor
_could_ be just be reporting a reduced pressure or may
simply stick at some arbitrary level and not report higher
pressures. In any event, I think that a problem here would
allow over boost conditions without fuel cut-off.
If there is a leak between the APC solenoid and wastegate
actuator then fuel metering won't be affected. If the problem
is here then you would get over-boost rapidly followed by
very obvious fuel cut-off.
