So here is my issue. My car seems to hit fuel cut in first if i accelerate hard but if im in like fouth and punch it from 30 it gets to 10lbs and spudders and has no power. My fuel trims look good. I just upgraded to 650 fic injectors and and aeromotive afpr my pressure is 43 on that. Mods are a 16g, safc, greddy bov, frontmount. Dp with no cat 3 inch evo 3 o2 housing thermal catback and a wally 190

Do you have a wideband? Also, what are you using to log your car?
 
How smooth does the car idle? If you are driving around normally does the car do the same thing, or is it only when you are under full load and boosting? If you have fuel and compression, the only thing left to test is the ignition. Remember when you start to boost the cylidner pressures increase substantuially and this puts a load on your ignition since there is more resistance for the spark to happen.


Seems to me, if you are hitting fuel cut(or so you think) at only 10 psi with a 16g turbo, it is most likely an ignition problem. Ohm out the coils and test the wires and post back with your findings
 
car idles smooth as it did with stock injectors can drive it fine but when boosting or accelerating hard it cuts out and pops first gear hard acceleration cuts out at 9lbs 4900rpm. My car was fine with stock injectors at 15lbs I havent touched the boost or anything else except my safc to compesate the 650s and i put on an afpr my base fuel pressure is 42.5 . Should i just install my dsmlink i have everything for link just no time like my wideband

Install ecmlink and get a log of the car at idle showing RPM, ect, fuel trim, knock and grams per second, and anything else you would like to log. If it is possible to monitor with link, monitor cylinder misfires.
 
Sounds like car may be going really rich during WOT???
 
ok link is in so is the wideband now i need help i reset to stock settings and it ran better with my buddies tune from ams now i got a lil knock here and there and under idle its 15.0-15.3 and it leans out for no reason. How do i adjust the fuel at idle. Then under boost its so rich it doesnt even read on my wb. I got a global correction for my 650 fic and a 210deadtime. Im not sure what affect idle exactly its fine under normal driving like 14.5-14.9 but as i give more gas the richer it gets. then boost -- is all i see but it moves

Dial in your airflow first on idle, airflowperrev should be around 0.25. Once that's set, then adjust your dead time to get your fuel trim as close to 0% as possible.
