Forgot the boost reference...
I pulled a Richard, but I didn't mean to do it 
I've been chasing down an exhaust leak for like the past week and I thought it might be a bad seal between the crossover pipe and the log manifold, so I pulled it off, reapplied some RTV and put it back on. But I forgot to reconnect the wastegate in my hurry to finish... Luckily I've been driving around on my MAF tune trying to diagnose a misfire problem, and its not tuned for the 2nd fuel pump so it goes way rich. Figured I'd roll into it to feel some boost again since I haven't romped on it much since I replaced the coils. I was wondering why it felt stronger. 
It maxed out the 2 bar MAP sensor before the WG pulled boost back at around 17psi. Zero knocking throughout the whole pull. Definitely dumb luck!

That's sig material right there!
