I think you can get it sorted out by emailing turbofrontier101@yahoo.com
He has the instruments/SAFC's, etc to tune it back minus the turbo.
See if he has time to work on it. He has done a lot of research on how to make them work.-Bob

First off, I would try to check and see what ECU the car has. Might be a chipped/tuned p28 setup for the turbo, so its running rich like mad. Maybe you can pick up a virgin p28 and see if that helps also.

My engine was built on the stock ECU, and it ran loud and slow just like his is doing. The kid that sold it might have ran a stock ECU with all the upgrades (if he did anything at all) which would confuse the hell out of it, and cause it to go into the dreaded bog mode, which would account for it running rich and slow. I would check to see if the ECU is stock, and I would definitely have a look at the internals on the car before going back to boost, lest it be stock.
