Ok duds, I just replace my small t-25 for a 14b, did all the DIY mods, (boost gauge, MBC, Upper and lower ICP, 1g BOV, Open air filter, new 8MM cables and plugs and rewire the fuel pump, no cat).
Turn up a little bit the boost (15 lbs.) Take the car for a crusin, stop in a light and come a 300zx TT, I decide lets go , but when I lunch i said WTF, MY CAR ITS SO SLOW, even whit my t-25 I felt my car run more strong, the 300zx walk me.
I come back to my house and do a check out, all looks fine (I run 91 octanes on fuel).

The only thing could i remember its bad its a big crack around the wastegate of the exhaust housing in the 14b, could that cause a big leak of boost? or Im missing something.
I can felt in the run like small fuel cut, more like a lack of fuel.

Even my cousin 1g Laser, whit little mods (exact like mines but except for a tubular header) hes car pull more hard than mine ( I take it for a ride to compare). :mad:

Whats could be wrong?, im thinking about that big leak, but felts like a timing problem.

Any help are welcome.
