ok so im driving around today and its running alright still not boosting hardly and then i pull out with a friend and it just starts acting weird....no low end power at all...partial throttle is what i could do only...and if i just pressed it some more it would bogg out. I have a JRSC FMU on there and last night when i installed the turbo, the fuel pressure gauge was reading about 55 static psi and around 30 base. the car didnt do none of that skipping stuff. Now when i look at the gauge while the car is sitting there running...its running at 20psi...and when i take the line off to adjust the base pressure....it doesnt go up to 55 like it did....it just stays at 20. and i cant adjust it or nothing. The car idles alright but right when i tap that gas it just skips and studders like hell and it wont even go anywhere barely. i changed the spark plugs...and i took the jrsc fmu off and it still does it and sits on 20 psi and everything with the factory regulator. i checked and rechecked the map sensor and its hooked up fine and working and i took out the check valves to make sure of that too....this bitch just doesnt want to rev at all. and part of my boosting problem might be a little leak between the damn turbo flange and the manifold which is just great. any ideas.....im really thinking fuel pump but i just dont know.

 

what did u gap your plugs at?

 

I had the same problem when I first installed my new setup. Check your timing and also, make sure none of your vacuum lines are pinched. My timing was off one "teeth" and the damn thing ran like ****.

 

the ones that were in there were around .40 ad the ones in there now are i think .44....but i dont think that would make it just all the sudden just start doing this when i pull out of somewhere after driving around with nothing changed since 24 hours before.

 

timing was never changed or touched. vacuum lines are all god ive already mess with every single ones.
