LT1 Turbo Help
For those that don't know me and my setup, Was supercharged and went turbo, so yes I have all of the supporting mods, fuel pump, lines injectors ect. The entire motor and all parts are brand new, (had to start over) the turbo is a front mount 76 mm with a 50mm waste, 50mm blow out. OK here is the problem, I drove the car for the first time, when I accelerate slowly it runs good but when I try to get into a little boost, it like hits a wall and just stumbles really bad, No boost what so ever, Fuel is good at that point so I am not really sure where to start looking, Thanks

Hey Moe! I'm guessing your tune is good, and your setup hasn't changed a lot besides where the boost comes from. Plugs gapped around .25-.30"? Car drives fine under vacuum? 1:1 boost referenced regulator, 40ish psi base fuel pressure, and no huge boost leaks? (I had a coupler blow off but it looked like it was on until I grabbed it and gave it a tug, was after the MAF). I know you know what you're doing, just bouncing ideas off ya, I always overlook the little ****.

Thanks for the reply, In my haste thrashing to complete the car, I removed the tube from the piping so I could run it NA, I installed an NA tune and the car ran great, I started looking at my turbo tune and realized with the 95lb injectors I was dumping way too much fuel down low, I started pulling fuel out and it started running better and actually now was trying to get a little boost, It got late so I quit last night but will continue today after work, I think with some more tuning it will be fine..
Good deal, no problem.
