Yah definitely check timing first. It is idling ok? Are these problems only happening when you get into boost?

Might have a massive boost leak. Check timing and do a boost leak test first.

DSM's are a fuckin nightmare. any prob you gotta just start from scratch, check timing- most dsms run great with everything zero'd out so dont worry about all the fancy advance/retand crap. gotta have sufficiant spark. pretty sure 420a coils are gonna need a CDI box as well as the coldest plugs you can get. boost vacuum leaks are a constant headache, make a checker out of a coupler, PVC pipe and cap.drill/tap 2 holes 1/8npt in cap, insert psi gauge in one and a valve stem in the other, apply to turbo inlet and fill just as you would a bike tire. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH FUEL!!! you may be experiencing a slight detonation if its kinda poping at WOT. i dont think you have to wage war with the ecu feul cutting since its a 420a, ive never touched one.

If this is the same car, I've already talked to you at T-bell.

The turbo is GONE, and the bov/boost controller isn't hooked up correctly. The bov never gets a signal to let off so it just stays closed and compressor surges to death. Fix the turbo, and the issue and then try messing with stuff. Fortunatley the blister on my finger from grabbing the shaft has since gone away :lol:
