Jahunt, what exhaust have you got? It sounds almost identical to mine. Apparently mine's got a similar problem to your's too, running lean, mine'll still go round to the limiter tho. There's just a self imposed limit of 3.5k now 
It's really shit not being able to rag it

Did the guys at totd tell you it was running lean? Or did you know before hand?

They told me, I had sort of noticed a slight loss of power high up, it didn't seem to pull right to the redline like it used to but I'd forgot about it tbh.
He did the first run then shouted me over, it was alright till about 3.8k, then the air/fuel graph started climbing then shot up just before it hit the limiter so I'm now keeping it under 3.5k to try and avoid doing any damage, till I can get a AFM, hopefully that'll cure it. I desconnected it on Sunday and it seemed to pull right to the redline, so hopefully that'll be it. Just gotta find one very cheap to free now
Don't wanna payout on the engine but I can't live with a 3.5k limit till I can afford an XE

 I thought mine may be a little lean as last time I took the plugs out they were a bit chalky. But they never mentioned anything so it should be ok I guess

It's been on a rolling road before, I got 79.4 bhp and 91 ft/lb
So this time I'm 14.something bhp down, and 37 ft/lb down 
Slightly gutted to say the least
