What have I done?
I am having several problem with my BEGI kit.
1. thrusday the boost went to 6 PSI, Friday to 5 now it won't pass 3
2. The car almost stalls once brought to a stop and while resting every 10 seconds it almost stalls.
3. The FPR makes a horrible squeeling noise when ever I try to adjust it to 50 PSI, I have to re attach the signal line for it to stop. I can bring the FPR to 48 but any more and it starts squeeling and the guage drops to under 45 PSI.
WHAT THE **** HAVE I DONE TO MY CAR!!!

the stalling and boost issue is a vaccuum leak. We had the same issue with Ambient's car. It works like a charm now....except the cracked downpipe, warped flywheel, turbo timer isn't hooked up....

Although it may be another problem about the boost why it isn't boosting. What happened to me on my setup was the catalyst broke apart froma extreme rich situation and blocked the exhaust which made it not spool like it should and eventually threw the bearings in the turbo azrakain knows what i'm talking about as Ambient has my kit now sucks about the downpipe...never cracked on me...

How can you tell its a vacuum leak, also their isn't a vacuum line to the turbo, the waste gate I assumed was mechanical and looked at incoming charge but their is a small fitting on it for a line but the directions didn't mention it needed to be connected to anything.
COuld the problem with the FPR be something else like the stock pump being screwed. Also I don't think I was running rich their was no black smoke or anything like that.

at probetalk.com (temp) in the FI forum, theres a current discussion about the similar issue, about a deltagate i believe....there are 2 nipples, one for boost and one for vaccum.....one nipple goes to the compressor, and the other supposedly goes to a boost controller....
