GN feels like its hitting rev limiter

[Just a Six??]

Hey guys i was looking over the car today and found what looks like a ground hanging. I have had a chance to hook it up somewhere and see what it does. But it is right under the turbo, looks like it might have mounted with the turbo cover bracket. Any idea's if this will cause problems?

Yes it will!

Yes it will!

Thanks, i fixed that a little while back. It didnt change anything, but was good to knock it out the way.

Hey guys i got my headers replaced, and did the springs with the 100lb ones from kirbans. Car seems to have alot more power, but is still acting up every now and then, seems to be missing every once in a while to. Also for some reason it doesnt seem to want to let me go over 14lbs of boost, i screwed the wastegate stick in about 2-3 turns and it didnt change. So im guessing my tune is crap. Wish there was somebody local to help out.

these pics are just incase you guys spot something out of the ordinary

You need to get that top IC hose flush on the Tbody and the clamp also. That"could" be the source of a leak under boost.

I was talking with brian at gbody and he told me to disconnect the two lines running to the turbo from the wastegate solenoid and then run a straight tube from the compressor housing to the wastegate. Well when i did this my boost was showing up right at ten psi for whatever reason. Why would this make my boost level show up differently? I turned in my adjustable wastegate rod and im at about 14psi now and the car is deffinatly hauling alot better then it was before and im not getting any timing retard so i think im good. Just wondering why the readings would change like that? Thanks

[TrAb]

I dunno guys i cant figure this out, comes and goes so intermidantly i have no clue when its fixed and when its not. Im thinking about taking the car up to Gbodyparts and letting brain check it out, see what they can find.
