Well I have fixed my problem on the car turning off while running and made my greddy boost control work :) now my problem is that my car is at 9psi and my car starts to sputter at full boost at 5psi it doesent sputter at all now on hot weather it seems to sputter less than on cold weather also sometimes u can hear the turbine spin while running but wount feel the boost! :( my guess it is a really bad boost leak maybe not that bad tough and im planing on doing a test but if anyone had the same problem or another opinion I would gladly take ## advice! Thanks for reading and for the help guys :hellyeah:
 
Boost leak test is definitely the place to start.;) Might be a good idea to change the plugs and wires if it's been a while, or you don't know the last time it was done. Make sure you use NGK BPR6ES plugs gapped to .028" as they will work the best for you.
 
Thanks and yess ive been told I had changed my plugs around 3months ago but their bosch I dint know at that time that ngk plugs where better for these cars :( ill be changing them this weekend also do u know where I can get ngk wires? Or thats not a diference I have the accel 8mm 300+ thudersport ferro-spiral ultimate performance 150 ohms/foot wires
 
Hmmm nice any good vendor u guys might know or recommend I havent been trough any vendors here on dsmtuners like u can see im a newbie and stuff still on the road to learn

Gravedigger the wires are in good condition no rips nothing like that just a bit dirty but their like new :) I was just wondering if there would be a difference between the ngk and the ones I have but plugs are comming out and going with ngk tomorrow
