Not new to Talons just new to this dam weird issue.
In neutral it revs fine to any rpm, in gear driving hits boost falls on its face and holds 3k rpm and 5 psi boost turning MBC up or down no change. I can drive a block or 2 at 3k rpm at 5psi no change and doesn't gain speed.

92 Talon, 20g turbo, external WG, old skool ufo looking one with nut and bolt to stiffen it up. Cast Turbonetics headers, 3" exhaust, Greddy BOV recirulated since after GM MAF, 3" GM MAF, MAFT rev 1.7 (aux 1 mode 1-4 dip switches all up/ all off base d wot 2. spark base 4 wot 8 - got the car had those settings), PTE 680 injectors, i just installed an AFPR set to 42 psi just in case, also has 272 cams. It had a MSD ignition coil swapped it back to stock and stock wires. Does have an AEM WB as well.

No luck. fixed boost leaks, rebuilt TB no leaks holds 20-25 psi. Revs to redline in neutral, when in gear will hit boost and hold at 5 psi wont go above 3k rpm or 5 psi. Tried different working MBC, going to try straight to WG next. Changed spark plugs to NGK BPR7 from BPR6, also did the EGR delete and emissions delete, same issue.

I bought it non running, pulled ECU blown caps etc swapped out the ECU, car started just wont go over 3k rpm under load. 190 compression, ARP head studs, have a binder with the car was running 26 psi before ECU went they thought it was the fuel pump and changed it.

At a loss what to check next maybe the MAFT settings aren't right? Also no CEL. I have noticed idle goes kind of high 1500 ish and have the bliss screw in pretty far. I loosened the throttle cable to make sure it wasn't to tight. Idle is around 12.5 AFR, goes up around 15-17 when revving.

ended up being the fuel pump filter was clogged and the tank needed a good cleaning ,switched it to sd also all is good now ,besides the fuel sending unit ,making progress .thanks hope this helps others
Since you just added PTE680 Injectors what did it have before. Did you change the MAFT settings for those injectors?

Interesting that it's very rich at idle and then goes lean and you have the base fuel pressure set high compared to stock. Too bad this car doesn't have DSMLink, a log would help.
 
My bad, the 680 injectors were already in it. I installed the AFPR when it wouldn't go past 3k rpm and it didn't help.

It last ran before we bought it, they had thought the fuel pump went bad no start but ended up being a bad ECU with leaking caps and bit of water damage.
I'm just waiting on parts, pulled the head off to do the HG (just for maintenance), turbo is fine no shaft play going to try a different external WG and order a new 255 pump and fuel filter see if that helps.
