Today i wasnt catching any boost. So i checked my hardware and had some loose bolts. Tighten them up and went to hit the gas to see if it was boosting again and started boosting normally. I hit some torque steer and let off the gas after that.
So i was cruising at maybe 35 and i pass a truck to hear my car bogging out. So i let the gas off and got on it slightly to notice it kinda spitting and i can smell gas. I checked and have no leaks and it almost acts like it out of gas but it has a half tank. I have new fuel filter and lines. Fuel pump is old and i still have yet in to install my 255lph. As it sits now it starts right up and then dies instantly.
Now i know these cars hit fuelcut at 15 but i have been in the 20s before and never experienced anything like fuelcut. Is this just fuelcut? Maybe tightening the bolts made it to where i could build more boost than before. I could tell it was leaking exhuast where my mani bolt to my turbo. How long does fuelcut last and how can i get rid of it. I thought just turning the car off and back on would work.

Personally, I'd put a logger in with the free mods as you can get a Palm M100 for peanuts and MMCD is free.
