Cutting out/Not letting me go!
 
KK well i recently put my turbo on and and running a 2 bar map sensor...ill goto do a run..and im fine all through first gear...then i hit 2nd or anyother gear and once i get up to around 5000 rpms it cuts out...like it wont let the boost go and just like pops and pops if i keep on the throttle to try and make it go...what could be causing this...could i have not setup the basemap right in crome? not enough fuel?...its really driving me nuts

I'm not sure what those plugs come pre-gapped with but it's probably too large. Gap them down to .030" and see if that helps.

It's always a good idea to check the gap on spark plugs, even if they're pre-gapped.

don't use iridiums...^^^what he said. they're expensive and uneccessary. use ngk v power and gap them to 28 or 30.

post up your basemap so we can take a look at it. do you have a wideband on it or are you going to have someone else tune it? don't do any boost runs if you don't have a wideband until you can get it tuned.
