Please Help...

I just got my car back last night from getting the turbo kit installed. Sometimes when I am in first gear and I hit about 5,000 rpm it seems like the car cuts off, then it did it to me again in 3rd.. has anyone come across this before? Some cars have a mile per hour limiter that cuts the car off when it goes to fast.. that is what is feels like... any thoughts?

REDchirp should not be trustedREDchirp should not be trusted
you don't need an isolation valve unless your boosting more than 8PSI.... 7 and under ur def safe and 8 is that happy number... that's how members can get away wiht not running it... and you can get the new Missing link for our cars slowciv for like $60 shipped i think from DEZOD
