Okay, so I've just recently upgrade to a Big Evo 3 16G turbo and a VR SF fmic s/r kit, no supporting mods yet. About 90 easy miles on them both. Last night as I was driving home, I accelerated to about 10 PSI when I heard loud pop, then my car just slowed down tremendously and wouldn't go pass 25 mph and about 3k rpm roughly. I can hear the turbo tryin to spool but nothing happens and I begin to smell fuel. I barely made it home, slowing down traffic along the way. Checked it this morning for loose pipes. Nothing. Checked the turbo incase something happened to it. It was fine. Tried to turn the car on, it idles real bad, then die. Tried it again later, now it just idles really bad and the rpm jumps from 1k to like 200. I step on the pedal, only revs up to about 4k then it putters like its getting choked. No smell of fuel from the fuel injectors, but after I turned it off, I can smell fuel. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction as to what I should be doing besides getting supporting mods?

 

Get a boost leak tester and check for boost leaks. This happen to me on my old gsx, I didnt have a clamp on right and the one i/c piping blew off and sputtered.

 

i will try that once i get a chance

 

guarentee its an IC pipe. Getting the right couplings and clamps will help eleviate this problem

 

*edit*
alrite so i went and did a double check on everything and one of the i/c pipe was loose! oh how happy i was to not spend a few hundred on repair again! man, seeing is not believing at all. thnks guys.
