hi... i tried to run my car again but since i installed it myself i have no idea whats happening to it... when i start the car it seems likes its going to die so i keep on the gas for a while then the car starts to choke and it sounds like a pocket of air packs up in one spot and then releases and then the engine is releaved for a lil bit then it does it again... i have a used rebuilt GM-3 turbo it makes tiny noises but it still spins.... im not sure if its the vacuum lines, the turbo itself, or the fuel because i havent got the FMU in but it still seems if it had it on the car would still die... i replaced the spark plugs and they are running fine... intercooler piping is tightly locked in... i dont have a BOV yet... and i dont know if its that or what... please help me out... the car can't even go past 15mph without stuttering!! thanks

still sounds like a mafs problem, did you try to replace the maf? are you running blow through or pull through? if its pull threw is the maf atleast 8 inches away from the turbo? I tryed blow through, my car would not even idle. Then I stuck it before the turbo, and it drove perfect

can you rev past 2000 rpm? what kind of vac are you pulling at idle?
