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?

Get yourself a datalogger and make yourself a boost leak tester. I bet that will fix 100% of your problems. Tuning without a logger is a good way to ruin the car. If you think your tuning is even close, take it from me, its not. I did it for like 6 months.
