well i bought crimsonghosts 90' talon....ran good, got it home and the next day i started it and it wouldn't idle right, wouldn't go over 2k rpm, and had no power....check engine light was on but after about 5-10 minutes (once it warmed up) it ran fine....went to pick a friend up, and on the way back it starts to overheat....get to my house, and pop the hood and the fan wont run...rig up a switch straight of the battery to the fan for the meantime....get it back on the road, runs fine....get to my other friends house, shut it off, start it back up about 1 hour later and the same problems as before....only now its been running for a half hour and still wont go over 2k and the CEL is on.....drive home ( 10 miles) at no more than 20mph....great welcome into the world of dsm.....any thoughts?

ya.....i need to get someone to help out on the tuning end of things....messed around with it again tonight and still the same....i dont get good power until about 4500 and it levels off at about 6000.....that was until i MADE my own boost controller-------> trying to tune it and in second gear at about 6000 the car dies....so im thinkin i blew somethin up....try to start it, immediatly dies...look under the hood....the pipe that connects to the turbo hooks to the other pipe to the intercooler with a rubber piece with clamps around it (cant think of the name)....but that rubber piece decided to split and the tubes were completely apart...so we clamped it back together (still split somewhat) and now it wont go over 11psi.....later on i raced a bullit and a gt and lost both races by a fender because of that damn 1-2 shift....
