ok i have a 95 talon with these mods inter cooler, 1g bov, maf translator, 255lph, wide band o2, and a bullseye v-trim turbo
ok this is what my car does i try to give it mid throttle and it sputters and leans out and it does the same when i give it wot i am not sure what it could be it also wont let me build more then 8 psi now ether not sure why that is last week it built 15 just fine i think it could be the translator or the mass air flow i would like to know what you guys thing thanks alot
 
it acts like one but i checked i had a little one but i fixed it and its still doing the same thing
 
Double check for boost leaks, check your plugs and wires. What's your a/f reading at WOT? Have a logger and can post a log? If you think it's your MAS unplug it and see if anything changes, if not then your MAS is bad.
 
How did you get it tuned? On a MAFT? It's possible you might have messed up your tune if that's all you used to tune. Also curious if you're using a 2g MAS with a MAFT? =/...
 
ok i just checked the translator and where it plugs into the gm maf it seems like it is not getting pluged in good if i just tap it the car wants to die

i tuned it with a logger and i only have the maft on the car

Its your Mas Air-Flo Sensor. I just changed mine. And it was doing the same thing, when the car was on it wanted to die when ever I tapped the MAS. Those Sh@#'s are very delicate and. When it was running, it kept on bogging and fuel cutting too. Till a changed it for a re-built one that cost me $200 bucks with a core return(old MAS).:thumb:
