I have a 2g talon and I have a CEL code saying fuel trim. When I get into high rpms or over .5 bar boost it cuts out. I've read fuel cut pages here but not sure what could be causing my issue. I haven't had this car that long. Guy didn't know much about what was done to this car. All I can see is intake, exhaust, turbo timer, after market boost gauge, manual boost controller.
 
Code reader P0170 and I checked the hoses. They all seem good. I have a crack in my valve cover. Could that be the extra air causing fuel trim?
 
Even though the cracked cover may not be the cause of the issue I would still address it. U don't want leaking oil splattering everywhere. Also seeing what parts your car has exactly would be beneficial. size injectors, fuel pump, way of tuning, etc.
 
Stock injectors, stock turbo, intake and exhaust. Stock intercooler.
