When u say die, does it not rev ? stall ? Is it after hitting the limiter ?? What boost pressure does it hit when it dies ? Who set the fuelling up ?

when i mean die it dont stall it just wont rev over tick over and i aint taking it to redline its like when u pull away from traffic lights and floor it and change bout 4 or 5 k and it just dont go after its not all the time but its annoying esp when u pull out on a rounderbout and need to get away from it lol

dartford tunning near me set the fuel up today but it done it before anyway
and it aint always on full boost u dont have to hit full boost even half or so
im only boosting 8psi max at the mo

mate, i dont think you have stated enough facts for anyone to help ya.

not had this problem myself after owning a couple, could be a misfire problem.

have u tried new leads plugs rotar arm dizzy cap?

seems strange that u have stage 3 head cossie turbo and all those mods on a standard chip?

send karl norris an email karl@norrismotorsport.co.uk and get it sorted properly.

im only on a standard chip cos the one i had my mate wanted to much for and it had a 18psi limit and i wanted a better chip it seems as if someone cuts the fuel to the car then it comes bk but as soon as u boot it and change gear again its touch and go weather it will pick up after the gear change

So,if you floor it it goes ok but then the rev's drop and it has no pull?

But if you lift off throttle when this happens and then wait and then back on throttle you can get power again?

Sorry i cant help you then bud,

Usually though with overboost it should cut power when you hit a certain amount of psi every time,not irregularly(Sp)

And cant a standard ERST chip handle about 10-12psi anyway?I had one that ran 13psi on standard chip?

Think id take it for a rolling road fault diagnosis pal.Not all that expensive-Got to be better than getting belted by a car on a roundabout

turbo hose sucking in?????? caused by a high intake of air .......if you rev slowly does it seem better rather than flooring it???
