Default WOAH problems with the A6...

so im driving to work today and it isnt far from my apt and i got my AFc set 25% richer on high throttle and 30% rich on low throttle . and the throttle point set at 2000 rmp to peak.. "so it holds the % rate to redline or shift."
but anyways.. i get on it and at 4grand and 6psi it falls on its face. for a second or two. then if i let off and get on it agin it will go to 10psi but if i go slow on the throttle. i know when the wastegate open's i know wut that feels like "slow drop off on power" but this is like your driving and jump on it and it takes off then like dies as in it feels like im coasting then it will take off agin. i dont want to hurt the engine but is this a normal problem and a easy fix?" ive been through enough of them in the past 4 years"
. it brings back memories of when i didnt have a missing link on and the MAP sensor was picking up boost and shutting off fuel.. BUT i do have my BOV vaccum line t'ed off of my fuel regulator vac line.. is that causing the ---- up when i get on it.. when i replaced my turbo with a bigger on i was runing 10psi fine until i changed my head gasket last weekend.. the F'n block is still leaking oil from the front dizzy corner and now its running like ----.. the head gasket was stripped properley and was installed clean and properly. i donno guys.. unless my timing is too retarded.. i would like to get a adj' cam gear so i can ture time it , and just retard it 5 deg back to run the turbo right.. and also it dosent seem like its as fast as before.. the old HG had 120xxx on it and i got a 3mm HG and dropped my compression..and it runs but not impressave like the d15b2 did after i changed the HG on that last year.. oh yea the d16a has dish pistons i never knew that.. better for boost i guess well fill mein on ideas.. heres the list of ---- on my engine

D16a6
RHB5 VF50
custom DX manifold
custom downpipe 2 1/4 "
timing retarded
S-AFC
AcCel 8mm wires
MSD 5
DENSO plugs
3mm HG ROL racing
ported head
stock injectors
stock fuel rail
stock fuel regulator
stock intake manifold

thats about all i can think of for now.. but my friends turboed a d16a6 and it ------- screams under 8spi and i feel like im driving my old d15b1 DPFI agin.. man this is shitty.. if you got ideas on y my car runs like a snail let me know

yes. Your stock injectors are not enough for your setup. You need some 390's or 450's.

if you are absolutely going for mega ghetto status, you could use stock injectors, but you'd have to rasie your fuel pressure up a lot from stock, plus use the AFC to add fuel. it would idle like ----, so you'd have to cut back your idle fuel ALOT with the AFC.

It will work, but its a bad idea and not reliable at all. My idea is even worse than an FMU, and your idea is even worse than that.. not calling you names or whatever like other people did, but maybe you should research fuel managmeent options a little better before you turbo'd the car..
