PSM & ABS Off Under Hard Accel

Since flooring it is downright impossible in 1st or 2nd due to massive wheel spin (even on a dry road), 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th are the only gears where I can really 'give it the beans' and let the turbos fully spool up and feel all the power.

Having only had the car a week, I am still very new to this, and I have noticed something which can't possibly be normal.

It seems whenever I get up high in the revs, and have the pedal all the way down, and the car is fully boosting, I get 2 lights on the dash right away. PSM OFF & ABS. I can't turn these off without shutting off the car and restarting it.

Any thoughts here?

Any of the CRC electrical contact cleaners work. Some companies have relabelled them under the designation of "MAF cleaner" but they're EXACTLY the same thing simply relabelled and a bit more expensive. A good electrical contact cleaner in a spray can with a red tube that plugs into the nozzle is fine.

Yup! Just go get a can of electrical contact cleaner. I got it from either Walmart or Pepboys. Next, go look up a DIY for removing MAF.
It's super easy. Hardest thing was squeezing the clips ;-)
