Need help locally El Monte, Temple city area

I just bought my FD and installed HKS DP, Racing Beat MP, EBC, intake, Koyo radiator, HKS BOV, boost-EGT-oil pressure-water temp gauges.... but my car stalls sometimes when I stop at red light... Also, 2nd turbo is not holding boost.. please don't tell me to search because I am not going to work on my car anymore... can someone who live close by el monte, or temple city area could come down my office to check out the problems and I am willing to pay who could fix all mechanical problems.... or any shop you guys recommend in that area. Thanks in advance

In your area, you could take your car to Norman at Sidepex in Temple City. You could PM Goofyrotor (Norman) for additional details.

yeah go to norman @ sidepex. close to you and he's good

dp + mp + intake + bov, not counting the other possible mods already on your car, it's possible that you might need to upgrade ecu

No, you should figure out first why isn't it holding boost. Once you correct your boost with those mods you will be spiking beyond the control of the ebc, than you get a pfc.

car stalling, smell loads of fuel, hard to start or keep idle, no boost on secondary and barely on primary.... sounds like a vaccuum blew off, probably underneath the intake manifold if you have tested all the lines outside... happens quite often when a downpipe and electronic boost controller is installed and the car was driven with higher boost without reinforcing the lines as precaution. if it's not you vacuum lines, then you have more serious problems... hopefully it's just your lines.
