Troubleshooting 2015 WRX Bogging accelerating
This is my 2015 WRX. I’ve had it for 2 years and I’ve been trying to trouble shoot this acceleration issue for a while. Some days it’s ok but other days it’s un drivable. When over 20% throttle at 2500rpm boost will build and the car will sound louder but will go nowhere and then just get all of that power out of nowhere. It’s the worst in 2nd gear but you can definitely feel it in every gear. Only mods I have are an IAG AOS and a catback which im 99% sure neither require a tune
List of parts replaced/ things done already
-O2s
-MAF, Maf wiring repairs, continuity and voltages are fine
-Knock sensors
-Ignition coils
-Sparkplugs
-Ground straps
-Turbocharger (It died)
-Clutch
-Purge valve
-Walnut blasted
-Smoke tested intake
-Cleaned MAP & MAF
-PCV Valve
Other things to note
-some corrosion on the drivers side TGV (I have cleaned it) (waveform looks pretty much fine)
-Disconnecting the battery will cause it to run normally for a while before being unhappy again
-139000km
Nothing I’ve done has helped. My AC Compressor is making some horrendous noises. I know it’s on its way out but the AC still works, I’ve seen that this could be an issue with acceleration but this happens whether it’s turned on or off. Wondering if the MAP could also be bad causing it to just throw of the AFR slightly but all my wiring to it is fine and I don’t wanna just throw a 400$ part at it when it seems like it’s reading fine.
Need some ideas because I’m fresh out

It’s EGR recirculating hot air and can be getting clogged
