      I think he means check your intercooler piping, couplers, clamps etc...

          Why would you need to build something? Just tighten them all down and such

            oh i know but i think its a little more extensive than just ic piping or couplers, so i think it will save a lot of headaches to just throw something together real quick to check for boost leaks.

              Im assuming hes making something so he can pressurize the system and locate where the leak is coming from. It usually is the piping but it may be something he cant see/tighten. Like a tiny hole in a lower pipe or something.

                  I knew what what you meant, but it seems like a waste of time to do something like that right off the bat... which it sounded like you were going to do... if all it was was a loose clamp, loose bov or something

                    Yeah i guess that would suck. I will prolly check everything over, and if anything else go to plan B.

                              the fact that you let max touch your car and help you do stuff to it might be the problem. j/k

                                have you gotten a second opinion on how the car feels under boost? it might not be anything because you're so used to how it feels. as far as the sputtering... without konwing anything else about the problem, i'm going to guess that you're getting too much fuel somewhere

                                      I've driven the car. It's not the feeling of a normal DSM. the turbo spools nice til 11 or 12 lb.s and then sputters really bad. could it possibly be the turbo?

                                      no race car? becuz homeowner...

                                        If its boosting up to 12 then its prolly not the turbo, but it could be. Does it feel like the engine just shuts down...then it comes back...then shuts down again? If it does thats probably fuel cut. Cold can effect that, but so can a boost leak.

                                        Also Jim awhile back i think you said something about running rich causing fuel cut. Maybe you didint....but I was under the impression Fuel Cut was the ECU seeing too much air flow through the MAS.

                                          I have a 2g mas 550cc injectors, afcII, and afpr, i tried screwing with the afc a little bit, thought it might have been rich. I also have a narrow band air/fuel guage that i kinda monitor, and it seems that it is tuned pretty good as far as air fuel goes, but i think those things suck, I should get an lm1 and be done with it.
