English, do you speak it?

Did you get your car tuned when you turboed it?

When was the last time it got tuned?

Check and see if your distributor is lined up correctly.

EDIT: And isn' t this post and your name a little contradictory?

It's difficult to figure out what you're asking, but from what I can discern, it seems as if you have a tuning problem.

Have you gotten a tune. The turbo could be too big, your injectors might be clogged.... It could be various things, be more specific as to what you have.

EDIT: damn, we all decided to post at the same time and suggested tunning.

holy hell. you and your friend are idiots.

you're introducing a **** ton more air into an engine and ecu that wasnt designed for it. how will the ecu compensate with more fuel and timing if it isnt tuned? tell me how you dont need a tune.

any major modifcations need to be tuned, if you are making more power....you need to get it tuned

on the plus side its obvious that you didn't search like you said and yo uwill be buying a new motor soon if you don't get it tuned

do a little more research. you need to tune ur car. ur ecu doesnt know that its getting that much air so it keeps putting the normal amount of fuel, and you need more of it.
:edit: damn im a slow typer

i'm glad someone learned singular and plural grammar in school
all jokes aside, you and your friend are lucky that your motors have lasted you this long. any extensive modifications you do to your car, the easier it is to blow the motor if not tuned properly. you never know either, you might be able to get more hp out of tuning it. have yet to see a car get tuned and come out with worser results, but you never know...
