i been working on a 92 talon as a project, i pulled the motor and rebuild it, nothing serious, just stock internal for a everyday driven car, i also rebuild the turbo, because 215,000 miles, it time to freshen things up, i put the motor and turbo back together with my automotive teacher, timing and everything else is prefect on the car,, the car will idle just fine, with no problems,, it has never overheated since i started the car,, but as im driving the car, under a load, or just taking off, the car is very slow, i shift at 5g ### it feel like it going to blow up with enything higher,. under high rpm, it hesitate, and it backfires pretty bad, i would like to get it running right for a month or two to feel what it has before i trade it for the AWD body, the turbo spools very fast,, it starts at 2g, oh, and every thing is stock on the car, tdo5h turbo piston, etc,, thank for your help:dsm:
 
it sounds like it over working the motor, i will do a compression test on it,, to check it,, the coil pack was fine when i drove the car to the class, but i havent changed the wires or and thing,, many have told me to run a boost leak test on it,
 
What are your plugs and what are they gapped at? Should be .28 unless your boosting a ton.
Sounds like a spark issue regardless, breaking up is something thats almost always an electric issue.
If regapping to smaller doesn't work, try to reset base timing, even less than 5* until you get that sorted out.
IE pull timing all the way across to see if thats the real issue.

If you gap them a .28 that thing wont run to save your life. You want to gap them at .028 to .032
