When I put my new turbo on I did everything but redo the exhaust. My car did the exact same thing. It wouldn't get above 4lbs and it was screaming. So I did a full 3" mandrel bent exhaust with a new cat and a flomaster. And that solved all my problems.

mine did same thing. and i had same codes. code 52 is murder on your boost/power. you can spool till armageddon, and it wont do a dang thing but hiss at ya. fix that code. re wire is not difficult, but a pain, if i had known shaeff made a re wire kit, i would have gotten it. its worth the 60 bucks to not monkey fuk with it.

Im a 12v doctor, so im used to rewires and such, good to hear you had the same problem,
like you said "spool till armageddon, and it wont do a dang thing but hiss at ya."
I was gonna do the rewire today but that damn hurricane spoiled any chances.

Childersburg AL,
yeah I made my rewire kit today at work, now all I needis some time and decent weather.
as far as the hurricane pretty much all we got is hella rain and wind.
I hoping for a very smooth power curve, nothing wild just capable.

come on man... what's the update?..lol. I got that 3rd person ready haha. Oh and my lonely foglight told me it wants to stay on my shelf until I find it's passenger side buddy...:evil2:

Don't feel too bad, I figured out my fuel pump is pretty much on the going out stage..so I'm sure yours is faster than mine. Let's be sure to go though, before my Walbro gets here :icon_bigg
