Just installed my blowby uicp w/gm maft and am seeing some weird stuff. Basically, the car idles fine with the base injectors set to 450 and the rest of the dials at 0, but when I accellerate, the car performs poorly. The turbo sounds like it's spooling before I even see boost register on my gauge, and the stock boost gauge will show like 7psi while my aftermarket one shows 1-2. I also get harsh shifts where it feels like the whole car hesitates or bucks a bit at shift, and when I do boost it feels like the car is stuttering.
I had a leak at the intake manifold that I fixed with a new gasket, and I checked all of the couplers to insure that they're not leaking either. I can't hear any strange leak sounds at idle or while driving. Does it sound like I just missed a big ass boost leak? Or is my maft not set up right? My logger cable should be here in a day or two, so I should be able to fine tune it, but I figured since my car is still mostly stock (intake and uicp) I could run it with base settings.
