Hey guys my bros gst is having a problem. When spitting still revving the car up n when it hits 3k its spitting. An when u drive it and soon as u hit 3k it acts sluggish and doesn't wanna go. An u see black smoke coming out exhaust like its running rich. What was cause this. We just threw on a stock intercooler back on it. But spark plugs? Or fuel? It acts like it doesn't wanna go into boost at all
 
Yea soon as you hit 3k rpms. The guague stays at 0 wont go above.
If the gauge is accurate and it wont go past 0 into boost at 3k, then it is definitly leaking boost. Check all your couplers, make sure Bov does not have a leak. Time to boost leak test.
