hard start
 

does anyone has to rev the engine to start it after putting a turbo, on? and also as I approach 5K, the a/f guage will drop to, lean and the car will just drag, it seems like I also need a new head gasket, how the thick ones usually cost?

Re:hard start
 

What engine and what are you using for fuel management? List your turbo setup also.

how much boost?

Re:hard start
 

And what are the settings on the VAFC? Did this all of a sudden happen or did you just put this turbo setup on?

Re:hard start
 

the highest boost I get is 5 psi, the problem started after turbo installed, the 5k miles engine drag happens when the vtec engaging but levels out while on, setings I all set at -38, but later I change 1000 to -25, and the I try to adjust while driving to see difference because the car only lean sometimes, and rich other times, question what does the ne points do?

Re:hard start
 

the ne points are the rpm points you will be correcting for (1k, 2k, 3k, 4k, etc). sounds like you're set a little rich to start, but i would get a wideband and tune that thing before you blow it...it doesn't sound right.
