Ok i got my front mount installed plus a high flowed my cat. The car is runing stock boost and everything. but now when the car gets to 7 to 10psi (sometimes it even boosts to 14psi or higher) it jerks and mis fires and carries on. One question i have is do i need to re gap my spark plugs, or there was a nipple with a pipe plugged in to ther top bipe of the stock cooler now my new cooler didnt have this so i just blocked off this with a screw and made sure its tight

Any ideas anyone

the pressure line from the cooler piping to turbo actuator has been disconnected or is damaged/blocked/loose. basically the turbo actuator isn't opening and you are running unlimited boost. this results its massive pressure and stock ecu protection gets activated.

connect up the pressure line from the cooler piping to the actuator

DO NOT keep driving it, it will go bang and cause damage as you are running unlimited boost

So how do i fix this problem. Would a boost controller fix it, its finer till its gets over 10psi then it just doesnt like it. That pressue hose is blocked as i have put a bolt as there is no where to put it in the new piping.

Any ideas

no a controller will not fix it, the problem is the factory controller is not working as the actuator line has been disconnected. there must be a pressure line run crom the cooler piping to the turbo actuator (as it was before with stock intercooler)

thats pointless and the hard way of getting it fixed, a good performance work shop should be able to sort it out in a matter of minutes. ok so you have the nipple, so where did you connect the line to ?
