Default boost problems

I just installed my T3 turbo. I am using a AFC, msd BTM, dsm 450 cc injectors w/resistor box, modified starion intercooler, turbo XS BOV and SBC. When boosting in 1 and 2 gear, the car stumbles about 6000 rpm. I replaced the plugs with a 2 step colder plugs, but it still does it. It does not do it in any other gear, just 1 and 2 gear? Anyone got Ideals.

why does it get leaner as you go up? If anything, people usually do it the other way.

i dont see how in the **** ppl set their 1k at -25 or more.

and yes richer as you get higher in the RPM's

wat is your btm set at? i had that problem when i first installed my BTM. i have to run 1 degree of retard at the distributer and about .3 on the BTM. took me forever to figure it out. i was gonna rip the **** out and trash it...........i was so pissed

i wanna say its probably the BTM.......keep playing with your BTM and AFC settings

no

POINT 3, (.)3, a little less than half a degree

if you had ythe BTM at 3 degree retard you would bog like crazy, you wouldnt even be able to boost for half a second
