    16* is too much, for any car...so there's no pffft to it.
    And there's a huge difference between seeing KR on a scanner, and actually hearing something that sounds like gravel chunking around under the hood.

    42 psi idle with vacuum at the regulator. 58ish with no vacuum. Drop it down. You might want to double check the gauge is working correct. Thats a CHit ton of pressure you have. I say the chugging your seeing when in boost is caused by this. Higher pressure=lower IPW's the injectors are opening shorter but over fueling

    Ok i tried lowering my fuel psi. I got it to the mid/upper 60s, anything lower and the car struggles to idle and the rpm's go from 700-1500ish. Or is that normal, ive heard that the ssm90 sometimes does that when its cold, or is the psi gauge faulty and i am at the right psi?

    Let the car warm up then lower the FP. If it stalls then your gauge is off. SSm90's do indeed surge on a cold start. So do must modded gp's FWIW
