First thing that come to mind is battery connections and or wiring with the re-flash.

You have some issues... Your problems are either simple as in a bad re-flash/ install or the two can be completely seperate, if your motor isn't turning then you loose power steering, so they can be releated.

My first phone call would be to the shop...

Congrats on going Turbo. When I got my Greddy TT installed I had stalling issues similar to what you are describing but it turned out to be a tunning issue and an ignition harness issue. I dont remember the exact wording for it. Its been 2 years an no problem since.

Hope you enjy it once you get issues fixed.

So whats up with twin turbos anyways...can you take your twin turbo car on a long road trip without frequent stops? what was the differnce in gas milage? Did you have to swap the heads or pistons or anyhting?


And sorry for possibly starting a thread inside a thread...But i am very interested to know.

First off sorry III for hijacking the thread momentarily!

Hey Will ! Good to hear from you, hows the lights coming along? As for the twin turbo, Ihavent taken it more than 250 miles out straight, not that long of a trip. You mean stops for cooling? I dont have to do anykind of stops.

As for gas I dont remember mileage before the TT install but now I get 270 miles on a full tank.

As for what parts I swapped, no internals touched. Im in the process of setting money aside to get my built engine. Hopefully soon. As for other changes, I did get a Fuel Return, injectors, and the HKS F-Con for proper tunning. Also added Defi gauges and the HKS EVC Boost controller and Knock amp.

Im not to mechanically inclined to be honest, even though I went turbo, so hopefully this info helps.
