Upgrade Or Downgrade

[Luthor666]

hi

i bought my r33 GTS-T stock a while ago and have done a bit of modding on it so far but also blew my stock turbo so i had it replaced with a HKS GT-RS bolt on ever since ive had it on it whistles like a mofo even with the slightest increase of throttle but thats not the worst part ever since then ive almost lost my boost completely. as soon as it hits about 3000 revs it almost chokes and refuses to go any more so i have to back off, i tried racing my friends stock subaru and had my ass handed to me. but when the boost was needed it somehow felt like neutral. this is really getting to me and i would of thought a turbo upgrade would actually be an "upgrade". i dont want to give up but i do want to fix this so far i havent got the answer i need.

suggestions would be appreciated

stock except for:

front mount intercooler

walbro 400hp fuel pump

splitfire coilpacks

APEXI N1 evol mk2 exhaust

hi-flo cat conv

stainless steel dump+front pipe

GT-RS

APEXI Pod filter

So as you have said in your other thread, you have done everything but the most crucial thing. ECU!!

You can't expect the stock ECU to understand what is going on and hence why it is running like crap. I ran my GT-RS on the stock ECU for a while before I got it tuned so I know what it is like.

So ECU and Injector upgrade time, put some boost into it and you will be amazed at the transformation.

And yes the GT-RS does whistle a lot but they tend to whistle a lot more when they are new. The reason it is sounding so loud is all you can hear is the whistling when you put your foot down, but the car aint going anywhere due to the stock ECU. With a proper ECU and a tune you won't hear the whistling as much over the engine noise.
