What is the turbo doing?
Ok, i just built my first turbo kit on a D15b7. T3 super 60 and about 4-6 psi. Well, i'm trying to learn as much as i can about turbos, so here goes. I was running home and i cranked the boost up to around 5 psi or so. I have a FMU and that ain't the best managment, but i need to start somewhere. When i was getting around 4,000 rpm i could feel the car hesitate like it didn't want to go. What could it be? I have no O2 sensor because i didn't put one in yet, so i really want to know. I think it may be not enough fuel pressure. I running stock injectors and bottom line stuff. Also i have a valve on top of my FMU where the vac line goes that screws in and out, what is this for. Thanks!

Jesus, I hope you're kidding. First off, you need an o2 sensor. Second, you need to properly instal your shitty *** FMU before you fry your pistons, if you haven't already.
What FMU do you have?

I wasn't aware that Vortech had an adjustable FMU, but if they do that **** is to adjust the ratio. You should take a look at your plugs after it bogs/cuts out. I bet they are super white and dry. Your pistons hate you.
