I just rebuilt my 97 eclipse GST spyder turbo.
I got everything hooked up properly, the car starts and runs nice but...
When I am driving the car runs fine until the turbo spools up then it bogs real bad.
Anyone have advice?:beatentodeath:

Thanks for the replies but this is what is happening.

it seems like the turbo is spooling up way too soon and too fast. And it just wont accelerate properly. It will rev up to 3000 rpm but at the same time the turbo spools up and once the turbo is spooled the car tries to stall until i let off the accelerator.
I cant find any apparent leaks. Wouldnt a stuck wastegate do something like this too?
 
Agreed. Check for boost leaks since you could be drowning your engine with fuel if it isn't getting the air it thinks it has.
