If you could please provide more info that'd be helpful.

What psi?
What mods exactly? (You can't JUST have a turbo slapped on there)
Tuned?

If you are running stock injectors even on low psi than yes, fuel delievery could be a problem. Not to say it can't be done but its definitely recommended you run at least DSM injectors (440cc I believe?).

It of course could be a few other things, but I'll wait until you provide more info.

Make sure you are running some kind of fuel management and enough fuel to support the turbo.

You should probably bring it in to someone that knows about turbos like a performance shop or even just a mechanic. Driven like that you will most likely damage your motor and break down.

mine did the same till i got it dyno tuned. I highly recommend to check everything out leaks, oil lines, fittings, clamps, also pull injectors out see if they are oem or aftermarket. I run 550 in mine and its plenty on a stock block @ 10 lbs. Try to see if the car has another computer in it AEM.

it's very difficult to read and understand what you are trying to say when you type like this... i know you used a lot of question marks there at the end, but that won't quite make up for the lack of punctuation elsewhere.
you may find more guys are willing to give you usefull info if you post clearly.

i agree with technine and accord99power. you've got to get it to a local mechanic with honda and/or turbo experience, or a local tune shop. it's possible you already have burt valves or other internal damage. the sooner you can get it checked out and fixed, the longer the motor is going to last you and the more fun it will be to drive!!

Indeed.

Who put on this turbo and did you do any research?

Follow the advice above and take it to a shop that works on cars with aftermarket forced induction. Show it to them and they should be able to tell you what you have at least.

you can't install a turbo kit and "do nothing else with it". the ECU is seeing boost and going into limp mode.

You need to buy some sort of engine management and have it tuned properly.

My guess?

eBay turbo kit, no tuning or different ECU

You'll need to find out what you have before you tune/work with it.

I would find out exactly what is installed before taking the time to remove it. It may be worth something or may be worth the time to get a good ECU and tune it.

you can't just toss big injectors in it without changing or tuning the ECU to compensate for the injectors. you won't even be able to idle the car with 550cc injectors installed.

I do believe he is talking about the "MSD Boost Retard" controller with the little black ****.. Sounds to me like its a Turbonetics setup.. TAKE THE CAR TO THE SHOP, YOU WONT BE ABLE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT THE PROPER KNOWLEDGE. Seriously
