Default What's up with this sputtering??

Well, my GSR Civic is turboed. Now, when I take off from a stopped position and press on the gas, my car sputters and barely moves. My car took off A LOT quicker in 1st gear from zero before I had the turbo installed. It does the same thing in 2nd gear if I'm going slow and press on the gas. The car just sputters.

What could this be????

u could play with the fuel and ignition. look and see if there's a big jump in there at low rpms, that could be causing the stutter. perhaps its just too rich or lean down there.

My car is tuned. Hondata s200, 550 injectors and NGK spark plugs. It just takes off slower now than how it did stock.

simple answer? ur tune sucks. get whoever tuned it to redo it, or go to someone who is a little more experienced doing it.
