Thumbs up

Well i was runnin my car to the redline today, It was fine in 1'st and 2'nd but once i hit 3'rd around 6,000 RPM i got a loss in power then a huge boost in power. I think it is a fuel cut or loss but i dont know. I have a upgraded fuel pump and a T04E singe turbo runnin 10 psi maybe 11 psi with creep. Right now it has stock inj but it has a Power FC. Should this happen and what is it exactly? PS i have 1300 CC inj that will be in at the end of this week.

The turbo isent that old it has a small oil leak but i dont think it's the turbo. It was worked on and rebuilt like 5k miles ago. Some one told me it might be the ignition coudl it be?

You dont have any ingnition? That would probably be a BINGO



Your fine with the fuel you have, I have a ton more mods and Im still on stock

injectors with and E also, no fuel problems.



Your E is spitting oil? Where? Into the intercooler? Better not be...

Move your knock sensor off the housing and to the engine hangar and you wont hit any more fuel cut.

an MSD 6a isn't too expensive you can get it for like $130, you'll probably need more then one, most people run like 2 or 3 of them so i guess that would obviously double or triple the price tho.

Well i took it for another run today and once i again in 4'th at 6,000 rpm it cut out and came back on. I was watching the boost and it's not the turbo. So i feel it coudl be the ignition now. Is there any way around this i really cant fork over the 500+ bucks to do it right now, at least not for another month or two. What will movig the knock sensor do? And how do i do that?
