?turbo? Issues, engine chugs when turbo spools high or at high speed
I have a 1993 Honda Civic DX hatch, just recently bought her and she's my first Honda, and my first project car. She has an aftermarket turbo kit that I cannot find the brand of, but it all seems to be done up correctly. I just have one big issue, it seems that whenever the turbo spools high, or I get to about 65MPH, the engine "chugs" and I have to pull over because it feels like the thing is gonna explode, plus a check engine and oil light. I pull over, turn her off, and when I start it again it runs just as fine as it did before, no lights. I don't know much about cars over all and I'm just hoping to learn and get some help with this issue!

Sounds like a tuning issue.
If there's an aftermarket turbo on it, do you have an air/fuel ratio gauge installed?
