this is the story.. i was on i287 west going towards the palisades mall in new york. and i was going about 100mph peaking at 10lbs of boost on a frank jr 19c. i recently put a fmic about 2 weeks ago but everything was running fine.. any ways.. my boost just drops and my car slowed down considerably...(it feels like shifting into 4th going at 100 whithout rev matching) when i pulled over my car stalls.. when i start it again it stutters hard... my cars idles at 400 to 800. when i try to rev it stutters to increase rpm.. sometimes when i step on the pedal when it at 1000 rpm idle it would drop to 300rpm or so than it stutters to increase rpm... it seems when i do that.. i see a little gust of smoke comming out of my o2 housing... i dont think it is due to a boost leak because i already had a boost leak since i first put the fmic.. after i put the fmic i have driven about 500 miles with that boost leak.. it is a hole from a j pipe where you supposed to put the line to go to the boost controller.. but i already have one.. please help... ... ohh by the way my car still moves.. i can drive the car around but as you can see it stutters when i try to accelerate it past a couple of 100 rpms...

nevermind.. it was my piping.. .i wasnt able to see the entire piping cause it started to rain.. but after the next day with a clear mind and not bugging out.. you will be able to solve everything.. ...
