Default engine falls on its face at 1/4 throttle on boost!

whenever i give the car more than 1/4 throttle on boost it boggles and pops until i ease off the throttle a tad ! any advice on this ? ive tried 3 different map sensors and 2 different missing links! the motor is a stock gsr on 7lbs of boost!

Missing link eh? You're using an FMU then? is it throwing a code. I'm tempted to tell you to get some real EMS but i'll refrain for now.

you are probably run dead lean, you need to hook up an inline fuel pump if you are using a fmu, and make sure the missing link is installed the correct way, its only supposed to go on only one way

you could burn down that expensive engine easily... injectors need to go on with the rest of the setup..
