Well as I was saying we put the header and the turbo on and did it right. so I feel, we primed the turbo with oil and spun it once as we pumped the oil in for the start up. the thing was a bit of a head ach to install nothing is lining up with the pacesetter header. With some effort we get it all to line up ok and made sure of no leaks and to my suprize there wern't any no oil no coolent or exhaust I was so glad. Well it was late and I just drove the car home with no boost on. It was after 50 miles of driving that decided to retorque everything when the engine was warmed up a bit. Still no leaks cool, now I decided I would turn up the boost to about 10 psi that should be safe. So I did and the car is really slow no power at all none. so I tried 14. still the car has no power less than I had beforwith the T 25. I thought ok I will try the 10 lbs again and check all my clamps to make sure no leaks still no leaks I could find . ok now I am getting frusterated I am also getting bad bost spikes after shifts and it seems the more I turn up the boost I am only able to hold about 12 lbs I can hear the turbo spooling and it sounds great a little diff from the t25 I had. Also if I eas in to the throtle to wot in 4th of 5th I can hold way more than 12 psi like 18 and thats not good but in 1 2 3 gears I cant hold more than 12 and it is slow at reving up from 3500 to 6500 rps. hell the 25 was hands down way faster in the car wtf. Am I just over looking somthing did I get it in the car wrong I tried to spinn the turbo and it spun great and it has no wabble why is it that a handa with no mods could beat me so bad in a race right no it aint funny. Is there anyone who might have a idea whats going on with this car of mine ohh ps the turbo was a brand new one not a hand me down . Alos i am not hitting fuel cut i do know what that it i am not pushing enough air by the mass to hit fuel cut . Please help |

double check that you have the boost controller and wastgate hooked up right. Also make yourself a boost leak checker and look for boost leaks. Check your plugs and gap them.
The stock exhaust is definately not helping you, most likely the reason you're getting boost spikes. Almost sounds like you're choking on fuel. Do you have a datalogger? -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....
