I guess I'm just overthinking. I had thought that the ECU would need to read manifold pressure and compensate for boost with increased fuel. I mean, you can have the throttle wide open and the AFM maxed out and still not be on full boost pressure meaning that there would need to be enrichment past what the AFM calls for as boost builds. Then again, at WOT it's full rich anyway now that I think about it since the TPS bypasses the AFM at WOT...

Never mind, I think I see now.
