After my boost builds to about 19 psi my car starts bucking and backfiring. My O2 voltages are right around .92, and I have the NGK BR7es spark plugs gapped to .3. Can the stock coils handle that much boost or am I blowing out the spark?
 
idk if this is your problem or not, but in mine when i was wot at stock boost would do that and the balance shaft being way off was my problem...idk if thats what your thing is, just a possiblity...later
 
I was blowing out the spark on mine when they were gapped at .03" so I regapped them to .027" and I'm not getting my spark blown out anymore.
Mine didn't buck though. Just kinda stuttered rapidly on acceleration.

Thats what I think is the problem is. More of a missfire than fuel cut. :thumb:
 
it turned out being the balance shaft that was WAY off...runs smooth now, but burning oil like a civ (1 quart every 300 miles or so :barf: )...gata get that rixed soon...other then that good to go
