Whats up formers. I recently just had my exhaust change. It started up fine in the shop. Drove home fine from the shop. about 30mins later. I'm taking my bro for a cruse and i just feel a major lose of power. so I let of the gas. pulled over to see if my intercooler pipe had popped off"like its done before", That was not the case. So I turn the car on a put it into gear to drive away. As im driving I call feel my car chugging. When i step on the throttle the my boost wont go past 5. So after pushing it home, the next day I pull the ECU to check and see if it was done. It was still good, Checked the spark plugs and wires they were good, checked the coil pack and found a lose screw that was making contact with the wires. Took it out and put the ECU back it. Drove to the gas station. to my grandparents house. turned the car off and on a few times that day. I get up the fallowing day to go grab something to eat. I let the car warm up, throw it into gear and drive off. I turn the coner and boom!"not a actual sound" The problem is back. I've checked every line,every hose. checked the bolts on the head,turbo manifold and exhaust. Everything seems good. I'm not sure of the problem and have no idea where to start. So im reaching out to anyone thats willing to kelp threw messages or actually coming by to take a look at it"food is on me:D". Thanks to everyone in advance for reading my post and replying.
