wired in PFS purple and now 2nd turbo only comes online half the time
I bought the car without the PFS computer installed and drove a month or so and then installed it. Before installed I had boost creep so I was careful to stay out of it. I installed the computer and on setting 1 I get 10 psi so that is cool. The problem is the 2nd turbo doesn't come on all the time. Sometimes I hit the transitition and it backfires and pukes and other times it pulls stong to redline. It is not consistant enough to decide what the problem is. Does anyone have any ideas of settings I can try or other things I can do to remedy this? I am putting the car away for winter so I will have time to read up on problems.
also I would appreciate any links or tips to learn more about the PFS system and how to set it up if anyone has anything. Thanks

Thanks for replying sidestick. I tried your remedy and unfortunately it did not work. Does anyone have any other ideas? It cut out after the times I tried it. Sometimes it wouldn't cut out at all. It is the same in stock-mid-and high performance modes.
It sucks when you know it is going to cut out but when your not sure if it is going to cut out or not it really sucks
I am about ready to diconnect it. At least the boost creep was consistant! Thanks for any tips guys

Your problem is most likely not related to the PMS other than the fact that you tried to "stay out of it" before. Remove the PMS and you will probably find the problem is still there. If not, check the harness closely, maybe one of the turbo control connections is going bad.
Also for PMS help check out www.wvinter.net/~flanham/wlanham.
