I tried looking for a similar thread for my problem and couldnt find one.
On my msp I have the following mods:

Hard Pipes/upgraded side mount
steedspeed exhaust manifold
corksport s-pipe/down pipe / stock catback
injen short ram
Afc split second on supermap stock running 8 psi

Now heres the problem, the car drives fine, cruising is around 15.1 afr and under wot between 11-12.3
Now when idling sometimes it stays perfect at 14.8 - 15.1 for 2 minutes and then jumps really poor to 17+ afr's for another 3-5 minutes and comes back down to a normal afr. It does this all the time back and forth.

I have no CEL besides the p171 that pops up time by time and then disappears.
My vaccum on my aem digital boost gauge reads -14.. and on my afc reads -21 under boost both read the same (thats weird)

Ive read a couple things that it could be maf related , iac , or maybe just need a better tune? is it really bad to run poor on idle?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Thats what Im wondering is my wich one is faulty the gauge or the afc , im leaning towards the afc also . But Id be surprised that would be the cause of my problem
 
Sounds like there is a leak on the vacuum line for your boost gauge. I doubt it's the SSAFC, I have yet to hear of one fail.
