Shut down when boosted?
I'm running a newly boosted D16Y8 @ 5 PSI with NGK Iridium IX Plugs. It's completely stock otherwise. My problem is that when the boost kicks in the RPMS bog down, causing erratic IDLE. If I apply any gas the car shuts off. Once I restart the engine the erratic RPMs disappear. Anyone heard of this? Can you point me in the right direction?

OK...I ordered the NGK 4091 Plugs from SummitRacing.com, unfortunetly none of the local auto stores carry them around here. I will get it tuned ASAP! Thanks for your help guys.

I hear you on no local stores carrying the plugs. Theres only 1 place that carrys them around me. I usually buy them out ever oil change, just because they only ever have like 8 plugs in stock!
