Your fine. What happens is you upgraded you exhaust allowing your car to breath better.

It is very common to see a increase in boost when doing this. The factory turbo will trigger boost cut most commonly from 10psi to 13psi it varys due to outside temps and where you live, the density of the air and altitude plays a part also.

If you Want to fix the issue there is the Lexus/550 mod and also a piggyback can help with a good tune.

When i had stock afm and injectors with a piggyback I was able to get to 14psi with no fuel cut as soon as I took it off I couldn't even run 10psi.

Also remember its vary from car to car.

I personally will tell you not to use a FCD the reason why is because what happens if you are at 100% throttle and your wastegate fails and boost spikes to 30psi and you had nothing to stop it ... (Bang!)

The stock accordian hose will stretch over the Lexus housing how ever it your it old and brittle it might tear. Driftmotion sells new ones for $60

Do not I repeat do not install the Lexus afm without doing the 540-560cc injectors also.

I use EVO 8-9 560cc Injectors and they work great.

You can also find the greddy straight pipe but it eliminates a bunch of stuff like recirc valve the PCV lines that come off the valve covers and some other things as well. I ran a catch can and an SSQV looks a lot better and raises octane because the oil is not being vented back into the intake. You will also need silicone adapters to mate the AFM to the pipe then the pipe to the turbo.
