Well to start, my AFC is untuned, and im waiting to get someone with proper logging tools to do so.. As far as that goes.. Just had everything rebuilt -- I was driving tonight, then all of a sudden terrible bogging down and misfiring @ 1500 - 2000 rpm... Check engine light came on.. was running fine earlier ? -- Any tips? 95 gst, afc, ebc, fmic, 550cc inj, 255lph pump, 18g turbo? -- Anyway, when is it running rich? negatives? or positives on the afc chart? Anyway, need to figure out why when i hit the throttle down, it bogs down severely and starts misfiring..
 
One thing i noticed this morning, was when i would attempt to rev it, the turbo would build boost, i could hear it inducting air.. in nuetral * -- guage sits at -10 with this issue, normally around -15, but as soon as i rev it i can hear it building up and see it at 5psi out of nowhere, black smoke out the tailpipe as well.. signifying its rich, but still? i cant figure out why it runs okay, then bogs down and acts up..
 
somehow the cable hookup to the MAS got disconnected ** wonder how that happened? -- back in and running fine!
 
Does it bogg down when you trying and boost even slightly? if it is fine off boost and boggs on boost then your car is pulling timing, I have the same problem. Are you on the stock sidemount? If that isnt your problem then it deffinatly has to do with too much fuel being added at to low a airflow/rpm level.
