Just a possibility, but make sure your TPS and MAP plugs aren't switched around. I've done that more than once. Do you have access to datalogging yet?

Yes i can data log. Those arent switched because car wouldnt rev if it were. It would just die

Thanks, that wont be for a while since i leave to jamaica here in 2 weeks. I need to re-wrap this manifold so it doesn't kill my hood paint anymore :( wrapping it very thick. Also its leaking from the feed at the turbo side, easy access and will be pulled of tomorrow, and dealt with in i say 15mins. After thats all done, well....i'm done lol. Has the coupe front end now, and airhorns. The coupe bumper just works wonders with the space it has beneath.

I put this on the underside of my hood above my (unwrapped) manifold. Hood stays cool to the touch on the topside even after sitting in traffic.

The manifold sits ~.5" from the hood.

If my welds on this manifold hold up, I'll probably pull it and send it to get the White Lightning coating by the same guys that did my piston crowns.

That bumper is a pain to mess with, Thank you so much for sharing what you used, i was wondering whats going on with everyone else. My manifold sits an inch away if not a tad closer. Right now since i had the oil leak before on top of turbo....it is burning off the oil alot lol smokee errywhere. I need to get it to the dyno soon as well and pump this 87 gas out the tank and give it to my brother or something.
