I have had this same issue with over 3 tanks of fuel from different stations, so I havent put much thought into bad gas. I have never seen it overboost. I will go check the plugs, I cant remember what they were, just that it was a litter bigger than the recomondations I could find, I used the preset gap from bosch.

It's not a good idea to build boost without a MAF. How may miles on that MAF? Maybe just change it, if it doesn't help, you have a spare MAF.

I think I found my problem..
When I tested it with the MAF unpluged, the abs/psm lights came on but it reved out in the higher gears without any hesitation or surging!
I did it atleast 4 times, hopefully I didint run it lean..
I was surprised to find it was the MAF, because I had no faults pointing to it and I never had the abs/psm lights come on before. It looked fine and I even tried cleaning it.
So I already ordered a new Bosch one off ebay $285 cdn shipped.
Thanks for all the help, I'll post back in a couple weeks after I get the part and try it.
