    What supporting mods? And it could be just a simple MAP sensor.

    headers, exhaust, tune, intake. If it is just the map sensor ill be happy... easy fix, right?

    sounds like a vacuum leak, what are your fuel trims at when the car is idling?

    well, i have a pre-cat exhaust leak. but that is just making my car surge at idle. I dont know what the fuel trims are, but you can smell the fuel running rich ( assuming that since my leak is between 2 o2 sensors its trying to compensate for something that isnt there. I've checked my lines i didnt see anything...

    You have a busted vacuum line. Follow them around and you will find it. The MAP gives you the signal for your boost gauge.
