got another question
well ive gotten the boost cut thing taken care of, now i have another problem. This is what is going on now. When i drive my car, it runs lean, spits and sputters and doesnt want to go when im not on boost. when I get into boost , the car runs out great. This is the case about 85% of the time. the rest of the time the car runs fairly well, good a/f ratio, but will sometimes get rich if i barely let off the gas. Then after i modulate the gas again, it starts running like crap again. It s the same wiht the idle except that it is more like a 50:50 ratio of good idle and crap idle. could anyone give me some suggestions on what might be wrong.
thanks
thanks

Just a guess, because I didn't read your other threads, but have you tried injector cleaner? And are you getting oil in your intake?

Sorry, I spent a lot of time trying to find your post again.
Oil in the intake may mean your compressor oil seal has gone bad. If there's just like a light coat of oil and some crusty gunk, it may be just the PCV system (although there's no valve like in a piston engine), or backflow from the intake charge shuttling back and forth through the intake. If there's a heavy coat of oil, like dripping/puddling in the intercooler or pipes, you may have a problem.
Too much oil in the intake can cause ignition problems at idle. You'd be able to tell this by looking at the plugs. If they're cruddy and covered with a black sludge, you've probably got oil seal issues. If not, then it's something else.
I don't have a TII, so I'm just making a guess here, based on personal experiences with NA 13B's, as well as boingers (my 86 944t had a blown oil seal which coated the intake with oil... yay...).
