Well i have a 420a turbo with 450cc injectors and alot of stuff. The thing is that I got pulled over for Invading A PIG OFFICER. I got locked up for 16 hours:beatentodeath: well enough about me. well since i got to go to the state ref to get my car checked i had to take all my parts out and make to NA :spam: well i took my turbo off and the 450cc and i only left the FPR and the Fuel pump. So before all this my car was hesitation a lot in 1st gear when i had the turbo they had told me to get a SFMU but i guess that not going to happen any time soon. So anyways know everything is back to stock mode well i still have my boost GAUGE on :shhh: well i went for a spin and i stepped on it "rice" well it did the same thing has when i had the turbo it felt like fuel cut on 1st ger and 2 3 just little but 1st gear was the meanest fuel cut ever well my question is can it be a bad ECU thats on limp mode? i had changed the sparks and coil pack and camshaft position sensor. oh forgot to mention i left my je low compression pistons on the block so any ideas what it can be???
 
I would say the pistons had something to do with it but you said it did it with the turbo. My car had a bad miss/hesitation while running the low comp pistons and everything cleared up once I was boosted. You could try a compression test just for starters to make sure all that is ok. Also i would try to clean/ replace the iac tps and map sensors. All of those are critical to making our cars run correctly. Im not saying go out and buy new ones right away but try and clean them first or have them checked out if you can
