my buddy recently installed a turbo kit on his ls, it cuts out at high rpms and his boost gauge says he's only boosting about 1 psi. i really dont know much about turbos so im not much help can any one suggest something thanks

 

is there a wideband 02 in the car???
what fuel management?
what turbo/brand/size?
what size injectors?
any tuning done on the car, cuz it maybe leaning out, so dont boost hard on it!
is it external or internal wastegate, and was the turbo new or used?

 

Yeah give us info we can work with to help you!

 

its my car

if its warm (75 outside) it wont cut out, but if its 60 it will cut out. i can put it about haft throttle and it will be fine but it want hit the 1 pound of boost. the boost problem i dont worry about. ill worry about that when the car doesnt cut out

94 teg ls (obd 1)
full race t3/66-01 turbo kit
3'' from turbo back
NO fuel management no nothing 100% stock. I ordered from import-palace clutch, flywheel, fpr, 780 injectors, and hondata but he never shipped i hope you all can give me great suggestions.

 

I am the furthest thing from a seasoned tuner... but im going to go out on a limb on this one and guess that not having ANY fuel upgrades may be playing into the problem. i mean correct me if im wrong here guys, like i said im no tuner

Your Problem

 

how long do you really think it's going to last.


it's cutting out because its getting very lean at the higher rpms.

you probably also have a boost leak

 

I deffinatley reccomend getting some engine management on your car and having it tuned ASAP ....just to be safe, IMO,you probably shouldnt drive the car until then
