Default turbo problems
okay i got a ls turbo i wanna boost 12 pounds but for now im running 5 i wanna run 8 at least till i get a dyno tune but everytime i pass over 6 psi my car starts sputterring like 2step or like a rev limiter was hit , i can be going 4k rshared_pm on 3 full throttle and if it passes 6 psi it starts doing t hat and wont really move so if forces me to shift early. Could it be a fuel cut off?? or wat?

Most likely plugs. Could be detonating...hope this thing was tuned, although sounds like the answer is a big no.

Could be a couple things.

Do it once, do it right. Take it to a dyno.
Blown motors are never fun.

if you have a street tune on 5psi dont up the boost. leave it as it is. save some cash and do it right.

what map sensor are you running?

If it is stock this is most likely your problem and will need to be upgreaded.
