Ok my car is freaking cutting out real bad. It pulls real hard until about 5 grand and then it just seems to die. The rpms keep going up (slowly) but it doesnt pull anymore. Its like this in every gear. It almost sounds like it wants to blow up or something. Its a brand new engine rebuilt with all kinds of internal mods done to it so I know its not. By that I mean I ordered it brand new from mitsubishi and had them rebuild it with everything I wanted done to it. At first I thought maybe it was my clutch but I just had a act 2900 lb 6 puck put in so it isnt that. I tested everything for leaks, didnt find any. Cant figure it out. The only other thing I can think of is maybe because I have maximum airflow going in then I just have a stock exhaust pushing it out that maybe its like overflowing itself in a sense. I dont know but I cant figure it out and I cant take it anymore. PLEASE HELP ME! :cry: :talon:

Definetaly get a downpipe and a cat-back. Thats one of if not the first mod that should be done to a turbocharged car. Expecially with an upgraded turbo that is designed to push more air. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
 
Do you have any logging equipment? That is the best way to diagnose what your car is doing/thinking.
