No, it doesn't have a V8.

Not sure why, but a while back I noticed that I'm limited to about 15 PSI no matter how I adjust the wastegate. It also seems like the turbo starts to get "rough" around 12 lbs of boost. It almost sounds like it's making the horsey sneeze sound under boost with your foot still in the throttle. At the same time, I can tell the motor really doesn't want to rev.
As a result of these problems, I replaced the 160,000 mile valve springs with a new set of Comp Cam 980s. I also put a new cam position sensor in it. I replaced the coil pack, which was slightly weak with a new high-output unit from Highway Stars. The module was replaced about 3 years ago so I left it alone. Timing chain was replaced last fall.
I also replaced a slightly flakey LS1 MAF with the new plastic GM unit. All this did was make it idle better and brought my BLMs back down to the 128 range.
After all of these changes, the problem is still there...No better, no worse than before.
Any idea what else I should be looking at? Mods are in sig.
