Well I took the car for a spin yesterday (the third day after installing DSMLink on my new 1g motor in my 2g Talon) and jumped on the highway to get higher up in speed and after about 15 min of driving I heard a noise from the car. No cel popped and the engine was still running, the only problem is, it wont accelerate hardly at all. I can hear the turbo spool up and it seems to run up the rpms as usual, but the car itself just wont pull. I took the car out today for the first time to log it and see if any of you guys with DSMLink can see anything thats wrong.

Checked and all the pipes and hoses are connected and tight, yet it still runs as if something is restricting it from accelerating. I took it on the highway yest and after feathering the gas to get it up to speed I noticed that I wouldnt have to give it much gas at all to get to turbo to boosting, but once it began boosting I would shoot out a cloud of smoke and bog down.
 
I got it fixed, you were right. I checked all the connections again and saw they were tight but then I noticed the lower ic, pipe was easy to squeeze. I jacked the car up and saw it was cracked down the side. Thanks for all your help guys.
