Default need help with turbocharged del sol

hi im new here and this is my first post .i have 93 del sol d16a vtec with a t3/t4 turbo, 255 walboro fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, jackson racing map controller, external wastegate, blow off valve, fmic, ect. stock distributer and plugs.

when boost hits it cuts out, could this be because of my spark plugs or anything with my ignition because i know its not the fuel cuting out. do i need an external distributer set up to advance my spark because i have one. please help

did you upgrade your injectors too

i can't see why you ignition would cut out under boost it might knock if the timing doesn't retard properly. what kind of pressures are you running

if its high enough you will probly need to upgrade but not on anything you would be doing with stick internals (at least not for long)

you need new injectors and a good turn. stock injector are not good with boost. also dont go with a fmu they suck. just get some dsm blue tops and resistor box and have someone street/dyno tune it.

Honestly, you shouldn't be driving the car if it isn't tuned...how long have you been driving it untuned?

S100 is a good starting point, but if you got the paper then look at the S300
