Found my problem, Thanks goes out to Pettit...

So i took the 9 hour drive to Pettit and he found the problem withing 10 minutes. The car never even saw a lift! Turned out to be a faulty coil harness. The car before had been building boost but not accelerating. So, I was sure it was fuel or ignition and had checked everything or replaced it to new. Now after 5 months of troubleshooting, I finally took it to the pros and the problem was solved. I cannot say enough good things about those guys, they were an absolute awesome bunch and very helpful. I will not hesitate to reccomend or ever second guess having some help from Cam. My only problem is my spike, I have a dp, Pettit intake setup, random cat, and greddy exhaust. Can i fix the spike with pellets, a controller, or does the wastegate have to be ported? Pattern is 12-11-14/15ish.....

Get a controller, you're gonna need one sooner or later anyways if you continue modding.

Glad to hear they could help you. I am supposed to get my car back from them this week. It was nice meeting another rx7 fan at Pettit's.

Dale what are your plans for this coming weekend or next? Also any suggestions on the boost spike? Everyone says that a controller will solve the issue but i dont think it is possible to compltely reduce the spike without pellets or porting.... It was nice to meet you A2z, how is that hood?
