Re: need help my lsvtec turbo is sputtering runing like sh*t

fuel problem...
Grounds...

Your name aggravates me as well. Even if it is a joke.

Can you provide a detailed description of the symptoms of the issue you are having? Telling us what is in your build is not going to help.
Also, please separate your sentences with periods and other punctuation marks. Otherwise, readers will spend more time trying to figure out what you are trying to say, rather than trying to think of a solution to your problem.
I would start with the computer. An OEM ECU will not work with the equipment you have now. If all your hardware is new and installed correctly, the most likely problem is fuel management or timing. If you have the correct ECM with for the motor, your only option is to get it professionally tuned. Otherwise, your turbo is useless.

thats an ok gap. i would have the tuner look into it. i could be numerous things. i would check the timing, map sensor, tps sensor

i've had this before and it was a bad map sensor. it was breaking up just past vtec. a quick change and i was back to boosting.

what have you done to troubleshoot? we gave you a few ideas, have your tried anything to try to narrow down the issue? as you test things you can start to rule out certain problems.
another idea is to swap distributors

ok so its not the ignition, start testing sensors and checking grounds. are you sure the timing is correct and the motor is healthy?

Re: need help my lsvtec turbo is sputtering runing like sh*t
does anyone think it could be a minor leaky head gasket. he says it happens in boost, so when it build pressure fluid could be doing it? also i personaly think that those injectors couls be a little small, whats everyone else think. and 1 more thing. who is your tuner??
