Has your idle changed at all? If so, you need to be looking on the intake manifold. If not, between TB and turbo. Maybe a split hose to the IAC?

Got it. I was not aware of (or just forget :) that part of the algorithm. That explains the ECU's behavior. I do have the upgraded intake and and FM silicon IC pipes/intercooler: treated the car to that last year. The throttle body to IC egress junction is a PITA fit on my car, and my first suspect.
