mitsustar86 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm in my car right now I tried hitting boost and as soon as gauge hits 0 psi it just losses all power until I get back into vacum. Car drives fine but when I try to hit boost it just slows down instantly and will sometimes abruptly gets power. Help Pleaseeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underpaidslave Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 sounds like my car after i rebuilt the TB, wired in some new injector clips and it was fixed, not saying that will fix your car but it fixed mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caliber308 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) What have you checked, cleaned or replaced on your car?Injector Clips.Spark Plugs.Spark Plug Wires.Fuel Filters. Is the Secondary Injector spraying properly? What have you checked for?Leaking Turbo and Intercooler Hoses.Vacuum hoses disconnected or leaking. A leaking or loose Accordian hose (the one between the Air Box and the Turbo inlet) Will cause this.As will the OVC pipe boost hose to the Wastegate.Also, make sure your Wastegate Arm is connected. P.S. The Vacuum Advance comes in at appox. 2500 rpms..So, I don't see that as your problem.
