Hey guys,
I got a new turbo recently and now for some reason it feels like at around 4500 rpm the car has a governer, like its running on 3 cylinders or something. The turbo spools and boosts so I'm thinking fuel or computer issues. Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this? Thanks

Pull the codes - see the Technical Articles
It might be a sensor issue, doubtful it is the actual computer.
Run the fuel system diagnostics - see the TAs
what kind of spark plug wires are on it?

My car lacks power, too. I think it's cuz it's got the lo-po 5.0 'twixt the fenders [Image: biggrin.gif]

What happens when you shift to another gear after this happens? Runs real choppy? How much boost you running?

I never got a check engine light so I'll go ahead and check for codes anyway. Running stock boost right now. Thanks
