Default Problem with my turbo gsr...help

Hi, I got a 99 gsr turbo, greddy at 8psi w/ ic....it has been running great for the 2 months it has been on. the other day my oil light came on so i went home right away, the next day I changed my oil and the light turned off........ever since the day after it seems like my car is really hesitating when i give it gas...it will go then hesitate then go, then my turbo will boost and be fine?????? I just changed my spark plugs to 2 steps colder and did a compression check which i got 200-208 on all 4 cylinders.

Anyone have any idea what is wrong? I have not ever changed my feul filter, havent changed tranny fluid, stock plug wires....please let me know what u all think I need to check out, thanks!

sounds like a fuel problem to me.

:edit: you might want to get a better fuel management.

You're missing somewhere. What kind of turbo setup are you running? What about fuel management?

Give us a bit more information

If he is running the Greddy turbo kit...he is probably running that godawful blue box.

Are you sure youre not leaking oil or...?

My guess is something with your ignition system, or one of the wires that the blue box taps into got loose. The blue box could be going bad as well, where did you mount it?

Another possiblity is the cold weather may be messing with your a/f ratios on the blue box.

Dude if your oil light came on thats bad, because they come on when your really low, pretty much on the verge of kaboom. No oil equals no vtec ands the car will run shitty. No smoking, are you burning alot of oil. Keep an eye out on your oil, gsr motors arent cheap.

Yes hesitating is usally fuel, but if its running fine for 2 months wiht no changes i dont see fuel being an issue.

Its weird though, the oil light only came on after i went thru a high pressure car wash, it had a real high pressure under carraige spray and i dont have any of those plastic flaps under my car anymore, so maybe my oil sender wire got wet or something cause the day after i went out and checked my oil in the cold and it read perfect right at dot 2.....

Drive through car washes suck. That's my worthless contribution to this thread.
