Hello everyone, i have some problems with my Mazdaspeed 3 bk, maybe you can help me.. i replace the turbo, everything was fine, couple of months after replacing i notice that car one day going very well, (slightly over boosting, faults in picture below ), i found that one hose for wastegate solenoid valve isn't attached to intake hose, i connected that hose, car was smooth again but not for long and it started twitching and jerking at aprox 2500-3000 rpms at steady throttle position, it have hesitation when accelerating, and i think no boost or very small boost, no fault codes now..any ideas what to check for? Car is bone stock

I would check the vacuum lines,boost controller too. Post logs if possible.

Thanks for responding, i found the problem, both hoses for intake flaps solenoid are cracked, i replace them, car goes like fury now

Update, intake flaps working, problem is fault p2178, like there's to much fuel, maf sensor reacts, at idle is 3g/s, on 3000 rpms is 12g/s, how much lambda must be? What else to check, don't have tools to do log?
Today i removed battery to get access for egr valve, when i returned it, i do throttle relearning procedure, car after that was smooth in driving, no jerking no sputtering, after turning off engine for 5 minutes and when i turn on again to go home, car again started to behave same, jerking and limiting boost...don't know what to do anymore

Hard to tell with the apparent super low resolution on these logs and no timestamps to get a good idea of how quickly (or not quickly) things are changing.

Idle log:
The LTFTs a little on the high side, just out of spec (which is +- 8%; you have 14) but the STFTs are fine.
Rest of the log looks fine.

WOT log:
The length of this log appears to be 6 rows. That's not gonna cut it for resolution, bud.
It's going rich as hell, but there's no knock sensor column to indicate if that might be the issue or not. Missing a lot of stuff I'm used to seeing in a Versatune or Accessport log file.
Also a lot of stuff in here that doesn't need to be, like the G force meter, O2 sensor voltages, commanded AFRs (why are there two columns for each?)

Ultimately, you're going to need to get some kind of proper logging device with a fast response rate...I remember torque being much faster than this.

Thanks for your time to see it, i don't have versatuner or accessport unfortunately but i will find better tool to do logs, what you need specifically?
After a short drive my LFTT jumped to - 17, i tried to touch maf wires on connector, and LTFT immediately dropped to - 8, maybe maf is problem.. Any ideas how to test my injectors for leaking?
 
Leaky injectors would be a much bigger issue than 17%, but I have had the MAF issue before. Gotta cut and swap the connector, or repin it or something probably.

Injectors will be pain in the.. to find replacement, i will order new maf, only denso is available but i hope it will be okay, o2 sensor seems to be respond well, only strange thing that i notice is after turbo rebuild, turbo is very noisy on boost, like unbalanced, and next day when cars running fine, can't hear turbo on acceleration, and I have stronger acceleration
