I wish I could find the guy I got this kit from and see how he plans on resolving this situation. Sucks that I spent about $200 getting the turbo ceramic coated, and polished, just to have it installed and THEN find out the turbo was junk. Now I have to clean the underside of my car where oil blew all over it....On top of already pulling the turbo, sending it out to turbochargers.com only to find out that it was unrepairable.

Question. Does anyone know why my car might be doing this. It use to do it before the greddy kit as well. When you go WOT sometimes it feels like it instantly hits a wall, kind of like someone just attatched the moon to my tow hook, the car stops pulling hard and after a second or two will go back to pulling normal. I have changed the plugs but since i'm boosted now I'm going to change them again. Any other reasons this might happen?!

Trust me, I've hit my Map sensor with various tools and followed the recommended fix and beat it harder then Chris Brown would of. It still does it from time to time, but if its definately that should I just replace it? Pretty sure its the original one with 100k on it. Any idea how much a new one runs?

would maybe just getting a greddy pressure sensor resolve this problem. Im not sure if it would help because the sensor plugs into the emanage and only tricks the car into reading boost. Not sure if this will help the stock map tho. Maybe someone could give some confrimation on this
