Sorry about the links here they are... I'm just not sure how to re-connect since it appears the rats nest has been taken out... I'm horrible at connecting the dots.

Ok so I just got done trying to redo the hoses in the car and I setup for the simplified sequential setup...

Now all of a sudden the car seems to cut fuel when entering boost...ie WOT...Any suggestions???

It sounds like you are hitting boost cut. The car will cut power if it sees too much boost (very dangerous). It sounds like your wastegate is not opening. Check all the lines running to and from the wastegate. Make sure its solenoid is hooked up right.

It's doing this when the car is ideling in neutral so I don't think its that. Found out that some of the key parts for a sequential setup have been taken off...so I have no choice to go Non- Sequential... Seems as though thats how the homicidal maniacs that had their hands on it before me did some less than virtuous mods...

ok seriously urking my nerves here... I just put the car back together...checking all vac lines and such and the car is still choking to the point of back fire in NEUTRAL while trying depressing the throttle... WTF am I doing wrong...???

Secondary question is this... when disconnecting a solenoid must the solenoid circuit be completed or can it just be left unplugged???

That depends on the solenoids and the ECU you are using. The stock ECU will look for some resistance in the line. Depending on the solenoid missing, it can cause the ECU to put the car into limp mode if the solenoid is missing and there is no resistance in its place.

ok initially it seemed the car was in Non Seq mode... and all the solenoids WERE plugged in... I rerouted the vac lines as needed but left the solenoids unplugged except the one that was said to be connected to the FPR. I mean trial and error tells me to plug the other solenoids in to see if the car at least runs.

HAHA Im back... Seems that the car is having the same issue as before... Dumping boost at about 4/5psi... I think my CRV is bad as the boost leak is exiting out of the valve... Anyone have a crv lying around they dont need or can someone suggest a better setup than what I have now... I'm dying here.

If your CRV was bad (and everything else was working properly), you would have 0 secondary boost. Basically, you'd have a 10-0-0 pattern. So what exactly is your current boost pattern?

Boost pattern on 2nd run = 6-5-6... Help...lol

By the way I am running Non-Seq AND I noticed the car still has the Actuator (Turbo Prespool) looped into the Wastegate Actuator. Looking at the various diagrams I see that the Turbo prespool actuator has been deleted. Since in most of the diagrams it is not needed to run Non Seq should I just cap it off and call it a day?
