Okay so I did I short search and found nothing so don't tell me to search. I want to figure this out ASAP!
I recently put on a Garret G60 turbo from Slowboy. I am not recirc on my BOV and I am on STOCK motor, injectors, ECU, all of it is stock, minus the FMIC, mani, and Turbo.

I am running 14 PSI off the WG. The car seems to run fine and pull hard,most of the time. I am running rich (10.1 @ 14PSI) which I blame on not being recirc with stock ECU and a super small exhaust leak.

Now here is my problem. Under full boost at around 5,500 RPM the car feels like it is fuel cutting! It falls on its face. It isn't everytime though. The other day a took my buddy for a ride and went through 2nd gear all the way up to 7,500 RPM and no cut. WTH?! Tried again an BAM! At 5,500 ish it cut out.

It is intermittent but expected. If I shift at 5k no problems what so ever, other than being rich.

My buddy thinks that the fuel pump may be giving out???

Thoughts and ideas would be GREATLY appreciated! I want to actually drive the car to it's potential.
 
I think I did see it creep up to 15 and that would be when I hit fuel cut. I know I would spike with the old stock setup... I just dont know how I would creep with a 41mm gate...
THanks
 
Ok so I have been searching and have not really found too many ppl that have had this problem, but "v8s are slow" said this in a post...

"When I 1st got my car, it'd kick really hard as soon as I threw it into 3rd gear. I had a wideband laying around so threw it in and my afr's were at 10 and didn't move any higher (very rich). Was just running so rich that the spark plugs couldn't ignite the fuel and therefore the kick. I made a couple of clicks on the maft and car ran GREAT!!! A few clicks of a maft can make your car very rich or very lean very easily and without a wideband, it's very risky. I don't run without one. Just a suggestion to your next mod. "

I realize I need to recirc my bov and have bought tubing for it but what can I do because I dont have a translator... I cant do the "clicks"
 
Ok so I have been trying to do some more searching on this and I came to a question. Does my g60 running 10.1afr wide open throttle still push enough air to enable fuel cut. I am going to buy more plugs and regap them, that were a couple ppls problem.
