Thank you for the response. I am definitely putting in the time and effort to get it mechanically sound, as I have spent countless hours and dollars in the past weeks trying to get things right. Vented BOV should be remedied very soon, and the thermostat has been changed. I will post an updated...

My apologies for very few pulls and not hitting the higher RPMs, I dont have much highway space around here. Although I swear my tach showed me hitting 6k+ on at least one or two of the pulls? Strange

1). Any boost, vac, or exhaust leaks? Boost leak tested 5psi above your max boost with no leaks? Yes2). Verified mechanical timing? Yes3). Verified base timing? Yes4). Ignition system COP or Stock Coil: Stock Wire brand and Age: NGK blue, 1 year Spark Plug brand, type and Gap...

UPDATE: I tightened a loose coupler and unplugged/replugged my SAFC and all is well :idontknow:

Putting in an AEM afpr tomorrow, I'll keep you posted

I have an AEM AFPR arriving tomorrow. I'll do a further investigation tomorrow as well, as I am stuck at work all day today.

I will do a more thorough check today. Could a bad boost leak cause 9.5 AF and literally next to no power? When I say no power, I mean I can only reach 10mph

Yes i do have stock fpr and injectors. I will take your advice and check once i get it towed.

Thanks, will have to try to get it to a shop. Dang.

And i have 255 pump that was put in a month ago

I have fmic, wide band 02, correct ngk plugs gapped properly, turbo back exhaust,safc tuned. All has been well until today, but on the way to work i stopped at a light and when i went to accelerate there was almost zero power at all, like none. My autometer gauge showed normal boost but the car...

good to know. i would be concerned about hand washing, as it seems likely any debris might scratch up the dip when wiping with a sponge or mitt.

Sounds like she'll be as good as new soon. Keep us updated

Glad to hear all worked out BostonGST

Wideband,MBC, and at least safc

Do you find you have to be careful when washing?

anytime sir.

Nice. good to have you. looks like you are very familiar with the Mitsubishi family.

Thank you for that. I am going to check mine after work.

More ccs will support more hp. Very useful for when upping the boost substantially.

Yeah on rims I would use it. Ive seen some brand new expensive sports cars that choose to do their whole cars though.

Wow very cool, thanks for all the photos and updates. Very rare to see one sc'd

What symptoms will exhaust leak cause vs boost?

can you link pictures of said rims?

Add some methyl hydrate to your gas when you are less than half full.

I've had some friends complain their plastidip would show scratches after washing their cars, even carefully. Perhaps their painting was not done well

I have heard of an occasion when it was the prime suspect of some frying

Hi there. I noticed recently that when i hit boost it feels like n/a power levels. There is very little pull. The autometer gauge still shows normal boost for the most part with it spiking higher than usual occasionally. I have boost leak tested to no avail

Bbb is a tell tale sign

That will be great, just dont get Macco! Lol

+2 on Punishment. Love my FMIC

Thank you for that

Usually on the door jamb sticker

Nice to have you aboard

I am impressed, well done!

My first thought would be ISC

They pop up on eBay occasionally

Hmm ok i will do further testing and report back. Thanks

Wowzer, when was the recall put out?

When I get my new turbo soon, I am going to look into these for sure.

any updates on how this went?

id really like to know the specs on the setup for the above photo

Enjoy your stay. Tons of knowledge on here.

This thread is impressive, many excellent DIY jobs!

What is the accepted norm for the idle?

court soon?

turned out well

Very nice. I like the color!What is the official name of that color?No idea as to the OEM color code?

I recently took my bone stock 1991 TSi and added a handful of items such as FMIC, 255 pump, wideband o2, turbo back exhaust, intake, MBC @12 psi, boost gauge and SAFC. For some reason when I hit around 6k rpms the car will backfire and hit a wall....no boost leaks, but it does spike to 15-16 psi...

After a 10 year hiatus from DSMs I now have a 1991 Talon TSi again. Happy to be back!
