4,500 rpms then stalls

[phillip_o_hj]

So I finally got my turbo laser running again, and I found a new problem. Besides the fact that I don't have 3rd gear anymore, when I drive at WOT the car tries to stall out at about 4,500 - 5,000 rpms. If I take up the rpms slowly, it will go over 5,000 and then I can go WOT and it will run perfectly fine. My mechanic says it's fuel cut, but I'm looking for a second opinion. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

what do you mean stall out? Does it feel like the car hit a brick wall? If so, you probably are hitting fuel cut, you didnt list any mods, so im assuming you are pretty well stock, so you more than likely have a boost leak. Do a test and call in the morning.

slim chance but it could possibly be an issue with the mas
