boost leak or fuel cut????

[customgst]

alright so im confused as all hell can not for the life of me figure out whats wrong. i will give a run down of whats going on. i got my car back last week and it ran good, like it did before the clutch job/ body shop. i was driving about 60 and i went for a pull and it took off like no other like it should. well i did it again and it just hit a wall. turbo spooled but sounded like the bov is stuck open.. well i kinda fixed something idk what...i adjusted the screw under the mas turned it in and now in 1st gear it pulls hard real hard. i go to shift and 2nd thru 5th at half throttle its ok at full throttle it bucks but not hard and sputters and spits but still sounds like the bov is stuck open but only at full throttle...im at a loss... please no telling me to search because i have been all morning. and cant find what i need.. my car is stock besides a open filter.. i did get a p1103 code but the waste gate is fine looped the line from the housing to the wastegate and its fine. once again please dont tell me to search..i have been alot..

Do a boost leak test, go from there.

do you have a boost gauge? have you checked all your intercooler piping? does your car idle differently?

no gauges. car idles fine not bad at all. im about to go out and check the pipes.. needed a break for it..i think its my bov, ### the dumbass that used to own hacked the bottom of it. the part the hooks to the intake. like i can still hook it up and it is. the bottom is kinda like half gone i will try and take a pic of it

If the BOV is stock just replace it with a better one. If it is aftermarket and you want to keep it you can get a rebuild kit from extremepsi.com

bov is stock. and im like 99% sure its the bov. what i did was took the line from the bov to the manifold and took it off and plugged the hole one the mani. the car pulls even harder in first and second but the only thing im confused about is in 3rd thru 5th i cant go over 5000, thats it.. idk what could be the reason. i have to wait to get the bov till i get paid... but i need to find an adapter plate ### the piping is all stock.
