What kind of injectors are those? And what kind of chip?

Just out of curiosity what pump did he go with? And how was the install?

Can't wait to see it at a meet/gathering sometime soon Bob!

My car sat for over two years before I bought it. I changed the gas, the fuel filter, and the oil before I even tried to start it. It still ran like poop, but that was because of vacuum leaks that will inevitably pop up on a neglected TB.

My new accumulator ball worked fine as soon as I put it in.

I must have accidentally touched that ratings button while trying to scroll on my phone and didn't catch it, my bad Dave.

I had a similar problem, and it would clear up under boost. It turned out to be vacuum leaks. Very very common problem.

I'm a newbie myself, but I have read that the biggest mistake a lot of guys make is throwing on a big turbo as one of the first mods. That usually will slow you down, and you may be able to go further than you think with the stock turbo. The first things to do are probably a new/better fuel...
