someone, anyone please help me
this is going to be long, but read it!
1. list of mods
greddy t78 single turbo kit
front mount intercooler
streetported motor
power fc computer
850 primary and 1200 secondary injectors
pullys
fluidyne radiator
profec b boost controller
hks twin power ignition
full exhaust
all new vaccum hoses
bigger fuel pump
2. history of problems
car always flooded out.....
solution- bad injector o- rings
3. current problems
first off the car starts within 5 cranks
at idle there is a surge that ranges from 800 rpm to about 1300 rpm, we can fix that problem by adjusting the idle screw, but then the car runs extremely rich and smokes white out of the exhaust.
when i drive the car, when it gets in the range where the car is supposed to boost (3500 rpm) it doesnt. but it runs really rough, sputtery, and has a huge lack of power.
at idle the needle on the boost gauge flutters very quickly but then smooths out a tiny bit when the rpms get higher.
there is also some shaking of the entire car sometims... other times it is smooth, then sometimes it is unbearable.
when i drive the car the rpm's do not go past 4000 rpms, even with a higher speed of travel, no high rpms... i floor the car, nothing happens, i feather the throttle, nothing happens, it is just like 4000 rpms is the end of power.
no one in this area (st. louis, mo) has a clue of what is wrong with my car, someone needs to help me before i go completely insane. thank you
fuel maps, timing maps, injector stuff, anything will be helpfull, thank you again

hahahaha!..........sorry i just had to because i know how you feel. go get new spark plugs and possibly wires. that should work but if it doesn't then you might need new coils. but i deffinately think it's an ignition problem.
