how much psi is at full throttle? thoes turbos stock tend to have an occasional leak and lack of the boost will cause the fuel to cut out more than normal. now i see that your location is colorado but is the car here in fl? i could always look at it and see if i can find out the problem.

its my pops car.. he lives in the brandon area.. the car has had some modifications done by the previous owner.. it has a bigger turbo (dunno what trim), bigger intercooler, bigger injectors, FPR, downpipe etc, and a different ecu.. i think it needs a good tuning or for the FPR/injectors to be setup properly.. im not to sure of the boost he is running i think around 10ish though.
