About what RPMs?

What gauges do you have? Do you remember off the top of your head what any of them were at? (especially boost)

Had you had a chance to dyno the car after the kit was installed?

Really to hear about this, since I know you just got the kit installed recently. If you need anything, in the way of forged parts, advice, etc...you know who to call.

So 93 isn't available in your area? GRD recommended to me to run 94 for an even higher measure of safety. Hopefully will help. Sorry again for your misfortune.

Your a/f is to lean on that dyno.You don't drop below 12/1 a/f until 4700 rpms. At that point your in boost with or without a light foot. Sorry to hear this good luck with the new engine. I'm sure the guys at mrc will take care of you and tune it right. Have them check your fuel line to make sure it wasn't kinked when they rebent it to make room for the turbo during the original install.

Paranormal sorry to hear about this. Don't worry once your get you built motor you will the love the car again.

I was in the same situation a few months ago and I was digusted with the car. Now that I have my car back and it's hella fast, I am in love again.

why would APS say anything? , especially at this point.
Root cause has not been ID'd yet and looking at that lean mid band boost A/F curve, it was far from the ultra conservative OOTB tune.
