ok so i installed my SF turbo a few days ago and im crusin tonite and i come up to a red light and my car starts choking up on itself and cuts off, so i started it back up and it sounded like it was misfireing so i putted off to the side and popped the hood. nothing seemed wrong so i tried starting it and it would just putter and cut off, so i disconnected the charge pipe and started it NA and still had the same problem. i cant get it towed, so i just started driving it and after about a mile it cleared itself up, i drove home with the pipe disconnected and everything seemed ok...im thinkin the MAP sensor saw boost and went crazy because i have the SF check valve in there, and after it saw regular VAC it cleared itself up. so i ordered the missing link from dezod, hopefully that will solve the problem, anyone have any suggestions.????

Humm, yeah I would try the missing link over the one sf provides. Are you using any fuel managment such as the emanage? ALso what spark plugs are you using?

no i have no fuel management as of right, now, i just got my kit on 2 days ago. i am running the ZEX nitrous plugs because i had them in when i was running my nitrous kit, thought they would be good with the extra heat? im goin to my shop this morning to plug it in and see what i get.

if you're leaking oil or have a lot of blow-by, then u fried your pistons and or rings. I had the same exact probem.

dude my turbo smokes like a bitch, i definitly know there is oil leaking inside of it, that wouldent cause the pistons to go would it? also, what blow-by?

I don;t think it was a busted spark plug because if it was then it wouldn't have cleared up after removing the charge pipe.

yeah i was thinkin that too, the reason i think it didnt stall out when i took the charge pipe off was it was gettin better air flow, which was atleast lettin it run a little better, enough not to stall out while it was sitten there. and as far as it clearin up while it was driving i think if i forced it to drive with the pipe still connected it would have done the same thing, the ecu just had to learn how to run the motor on 3 clyinders
