Exclamation Need ADVICE!!!!

Sup guys i finally got my greddy TT installed at SGP but they had some problems with the car. First of all the car is only at 5.5lbs boost making a little over 345 rwhp thats what they said it made. I didnt get a dyno sheet forgot to ask them for one... They tried rasing the boost up on the car but they said it didnt let them they thought the boost controller was broken but before i buy a new boost controller he said to try to take the cats off and put some APS test pipe and then try to raise the boost again and also they told me to get some new spark plugs colder ones!!!!

What do you guys think the problems is?????
ALso i was trying the car out today the car has trouble starting takes 2 or 3 tries to start, my reverse died out wasnt working at all finally came back. They installed a new JWT clutch/flywheel!!!
While driving the car for some reason it was getting stuck at 4000rpms and the car would chuckle!!
Oh yea i also have a built motor...............

PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE THANKS!!!!

Something sounds funny, 345RWHP on 5.5 and stock cats is pretty good and if you have an 8.5 CR engine then even more surprising.

If you can't raise the boost then something is not right with the controller, it is either indeed broken or not hooked up correctly. Colder plugs are a good idea anyway if you stilll have stock plugs, that is something we always recommend.

As for reverse, not sure what you mean but if they didn't install the guide plate correctly on the shifter then it will cause problems with 5-6and R.

Is the car getting stuck at 4k all the time or only in boost? if in boost then the MAF may not be clamped but at 5.5 psi it should not be an issue unless you are indeed getting more boost and your gauge is what is broken.

So everything is fine except your boost controller? Plugs and test pipes are a good idea.

are you running a UTEC? because your 4000 rpm problem might be doing due to the UTEC grounding issue that was going around

Then it sounds like the MAF maxing out and the clamp is not set low enough, but it is tough if only 5.5 PSI usually don't see that until 9+.

The emanage ultimate has not impressed me, real pain in the **** from injector scaling to improper wire colors on the instructions. What is the AF ratio it might be getting flooded, like I said the EU is not fun.

Are there values in all of your boost limit cut map on the EU? If there's a 0 @ the 4k mark then that's your problem
