alright well my car has some problems:
1, well it runs real rich, spark plugs can be fouled in 1-2 days
2, you push on the gas, and the car doesnt'r eally go anywhere, you can hear the turbo spool, and you can hear the bov, and the boost gauge is saying there's boost...but no power...
and 3, whenever i put on the gas, it sounds like it's knocking real bad..
I think I'm just gonna go ahead and buy a new motor, but I wanna know if anyone here knows what might be wrong with it
thanks
Ryan
 
Do you have any mods to your car? Any fuel upgrades? Pump, injectors, etc. What plugs are you using? For a stock DSM they need to be NGK BPR6ES gapped to .028, or for modified DSM's BPR7ES gapped the same. W/ building boost like you say, it sounds like it may be a huge boost leak.

Fill out your vehicle profile, or tell us, then lets go from there.
 
I have same thing (numbe two) on my 95 awd. maybe i have leak too. says boost but barely any power

Boost Leak?
That's my line. :)

rice :D : You need to update your profile, the more we know about you car/mods, the more likely we'll be able to help.
