    Stock Piston Question?????????????????

    looks like it would be ok to use, but it'd be unbalanced and you'd need to pay to have a balance done. (worth it anyway) seriously, its apart why not spend a little coin and replace all the slugs.. don't cut corners, the 7m will not forgive you...

    Fuel Cut at 9 PSI?????????

    i wouldn't say the duty cycle is gets dangerously high. but yeah ive noticed its based on many other factors as well such as knock counts, air temp etc. mine hits boost cuts on a hard shift... and round 9-9.5psi pending on weather really.

    installing timing belt problem

    fuel cut off

    still stock fuel cut is SFA of the injector duty cycle. agree'd with the comments above, don't bypass it you need to replace the ecu and injectors anyway to do it properly

    Hitting fuel cut... Help?

    whining noise is the turbo spinning at higher revs, you have a boost leak.. same pressure more rpm on the turbo, hits boost cut earlier etc is exactly the issue, are you sure your intercooler is still ok? from what i can tell it doesn't cut fuel, just ignition. and its not dependant on boost...

    installing timing belt problem

    buick v6 is easier, just match the dots on the chain :) i bet they're trying to do it with a tight tensioner, either that or your backing plate for the head isnt where its ment to be
