what do you have for fuel upgrades? Is your check engine light on?
My advice is to lay off of the gas till you get the car tuned...

why must newbies cross post.

you don't have any engine managment. your cars stock ecu cannot under stand boost.

as soon as the manifold presure goes greater than atmospheric, the car ecu clips out and ignition cuts and probably throws all kinds of codes
