Post by: pd9264 on July 13, 2013, 10:31:47 pm: No revo. What it was is I stuffed my last engine so fitted cdl. Lump. Been running on stock settings for a a while as didn't have sps. Got an sps loaded some higher settings on such as b7 t4 f9 for now. Boost increased on boost gauge but car isn't any quicker, doesn't even break traction in second. When you go wot u just hear the turbo spooling and exhaust screaming like I'm shifting but it just feels sluggish. All noise and no go. I need to get it scanned but just thought to see if anyone else has had a similar issue.
I thought maybe the tb isn't operating properly or it isn't getting enough fuel.
