Default Would this set-up cause my car to feel so S-L-O-W?

Running the Greddy Intercooled Kit for a GSR

18g turbo
Greddy 310 Injectors
FMU 12:1 (I"m using one because the blue box does not work for me and I"m having difficulties trying to get my 450's and AFC circuit to work)

So it's like this, It feels slow, off the line, or anytime you romp on it (more than 50% throttle), you can hear the boost being built and the BOV is loud as hell but it doesn't throw you back all, it just doesn't want to go, However if you slowly give it gas, it'll hesistate a little bit but it will go into boost, but slowly

It is because I"m running too rich?

Or do I need to put the inline fuel pump in immediately?

somethings to consider:

my second o2 sensor is gone, first owner jsut cut the damn thing off, so I tried using a o2 simulator BUT when I put it in, it totally screws up my a/f readings.


I bought the recalibration kit already, should be here thursday but somepeople said that it doesn't matter because it should still run OK with the 12:1,

The little nut that screws and holds my wastegate actuator keeps turning loose, could this be a problem?

TIA

If you have an FMU you need an inline pump, end of story, you are not to rich TURST ME.. you are not gving your car enough fuel, your way lean, put in the pump and stop killing your motor. People will say you dont need in inline if you ... yada yada yada.. BS you need high pressure to properly feed the FMU. Install that inline, NOW

Thanks, I know that I need to put the FMU in immediately but would not having the pump in, cause it to not boost. I mean, I can hear, and see it boost to 7 psi but it just won't go unless I give it less throttle.

i have the same exact problem and i just recently fixed it. its the o2 sensor. you need hook it up. will solve all your hesitation, idling, boggin, and boosting problem trust me. and you will need a FMU and a fuel pump.

If you don't have an inline already, stop boosting until you get it, unless you wanna blow your motor fast.

Its true...my car was leaning out really bad until I got an inline. Installed the inline and it ran 300x better!
