I just bolted on my turbo and 2 days later my car sputters and im running 8 pounds of VAC. Rpm as dropped under 500. It seems like it wants to just give up. Shortly after I noticed I got a CEL which I will read at autozone tomorrow. The car hasnt seen WOT with boost yet. The guage is showing no boost now which could be just the guage. I checked all vac lines. it seems like its either a pad spark plug and I blew my motor. Fule filter has been changed a few months ago. A/F guage shows lean over 4k so I let off the boost. Any input ?

Doublecheck all your vac lines, again. If something is blown, i.e. piston or ringlands, you'll probably see oil and or smoke from the engine. Also, maybe do a compression test to eliminate the later.

ok I scanned my codes and im running too lean. I hope this didnt affect the motor too much yet but im doing a comp test in a few hours. I want to make sure my FMU is hook up right cause I only saw instructions for the super. Middle port back to take and side one from stock FMU. does that sounds right ? I also thought it could be a blown o2. I already swapped out my sensor after install because my gasket makers distroyed it. Thanks to a fellow 2g member I got hooked up with my new one. After I hooked it up and boosted more I smelled the gaskets and it couldve blown another one. Would think cause low idle ? My A/F ratio guage lights up half way so its like 7 leds are on. Anyone got any ideas ?

Bad fuel pump, or clogged filter might cause those symptoms. You have any gauge on the FP?

Currently helping ForceFed420A finish his custom 97 Eclipse Megasquirt Turbo project.

it ended up being the o2 sensor again. It was dumping fuel to cause it to sputter. All is well down and im running 18-20 psi vac. The guage i got with the kit was messed up. Anyway thanks to extreme97nt for being a good guy and hooking me up once more. Its nice to know that there help and info when you need it so I would like to thank the whole 2g community.
