I made a tester quick and found all my boost leaks, but if you have a compression tester that would be helpful.

I have a dejon tool j pipe and it doesnt have a tap on it, and no i havent gotten around to doing it yet. Do you have a tester at the shop?
Thanks for the help.

intercooler pipes will blow off at high pressure like that too... but we don't boost that much so its not like it matters?

a leak is a leak

Yeah I did make some thing to check for boost leaks and the boost controller was one of them, then I had one between the turbo and j pipe, then I had one on the intake manifold. I fixed them all, the boost controller still leaks a little but at 50 psi, so it shouldnt be an issue.

afcII, 550cc injectors, 14b turbo, sls intercooler piping, intake, 2g mas, k&n fipk, boost controller (spelling?), 2g exhuast manifold, full 3" exhuast with o2 eliminator, 255lph hp fuel pump, afpr, thats all i can think of right now. I think i found one of the boost leaks but it still sputters a little bit, and now I get bad boost spikes. I have it set at 10 pounds and it spikes to 20 pounds. got any ideas?

I also have a narrow band air/fuel guage that i kinda monitor, and it seems that it is tuned pretty good as far as air fuel goes, but i think those things suck, I should get an lm1 and be done with it.

Does it feel like the engine just shuts down...then it comes back...then shuts down again? If it does thats probably fuel cut. Cold can effect that, but so can a boost leak.

Also Jim awhile back i think you said something about running rich causing fuel cut. Maybe you didint....but I was under the impression Fuel Cut was the ECU seeing too much air flow through the MAS.

I've driven the car. It's not the feeling of a normal DSM. the turbo spools nice til 11 or 12 lb.s and then sputters really bad. could it possibly be the turbo?
