Turbo

[Turbo Jeff]

Just wondering if you could use a newer turbo on your hot air GN because when I bought my car the guy told me the turbo had a water cooled center so I assume it is a newer turbo, I was just wondering if that might be part of the problems im having with the car. Thanks in advance for the help.

What probs are you having?

 

[Turbo Jeff]

Well it probably has nothing to do with the turbo i'm just trying to narrow things down. My car when you get on it it acts like it's starving for gas. And sometime when it warms up it runs like crap.
I looked at your car very nice

Do you have anyway to monitor fuel pressure?
What's your setup, need a little more input.
Stock setup? Any add-ons? Scan tool? Stock fuel pump?
More questions than answers.

No problem my car is stock set up I do have a fuel guage on the fuel rail it reads 30 psi of fuel. Haven't got around to doing any mods yet.

30 psi , a little too low. Prolly need to upgrade the fuel pump and hot wire.
Could be the fuel filter,pump or sock strainer collapsed in tank.
Stock fp setting is around 34-40 psi line off with stock regulator.
If the fuel pressure is that low it will only get worse under load,prolly knocking.
Fuel pressure should go up with boost.
