Plumber's son has a DSM that's falling on it's face.
Plumber's son came up to me today, and said he just got a 99' Eclipse w/ a "big garrett turbo" he claimed that falls on it's face at about 4k rpms. He bought the car already "done up". He's suppose to stop by in a bit, I told him i'd look at it today after work, I figured it was getting too much boost for the fuel to compensate for. Probably is a nonturbo motor, w/ non turbo fuel system, and non turbo ecu. not sure yet, i'm hoping the wastegate is either stuck open or the boost controller is turned the wrong way. Sounds to me like he's bought some kids ---- up of a project, but we'll see.

He came by, the car has a widebody kit all molded into about a 7k dollar paintjob. candy apple red... looks like a showcar, but the damn thing cut out at 4k at full throttle.. checked the boost controller, turned it all the way down.. went for a drive.. still same problem.. doesn't fall on its face completely, just cuts out like sputters. not sure what it is, I told him he might have too big of a turbo on it for the fuel system. Or the wastegate could be bad

IT'S A ------- BOOST LEAK! DSM'S HAVE A ------- MASS AIR SENSOR. I GUARANTEE YOU THAT'S WHAT IT IS! THEY GET THEM ALL THE DAMN TIME. CHECK ALL THE COUPLERS. THE BEST THING TO DO WOULD BE A BOOST LEAK TEST. FORCE SOME AIR INTO THE COMPRESSOR OUTLET PIPE AND LISTEN! YOU'LL BE SURPRISED.
