You might be "putting the fire out" so to speak. Try bringing the plate back some and tuning the AFC and see what that gets you.

You can get an adjustable boost elbow. People will probably tell you just to plug the wastgate, but you end up pushing the stock turbo out of it's map and just makes hot air at too high of a boost level.

are you sure you have no tears in your intercooler boots? strange that it was fine before the injector swap. i guess u could put your old one back in and have the 215 pop tested. just a thought.
