Hey guys got the car going it ran very good ive been driving it and having fun for about 2 weeks untill yesterday
the day before it drove perfect lots of power everything's fine, i start it up in the morning to go to work and the car runs good i let it warm up i take it around the block and on the main road next to my place and i give it a little gas got into boost a little and i noticed it sounded and felt odd like there was a massive boost leak i stopped at the stop sign and went and it felt fine but then started to act funny when the rpms started to increase i had my laptop with me to tune the car so i hooked it up and increased the fuel my wideband died a day before so i cant tell the afr. i stopped and upped the fuel and nothing different it idled really wearied i changed the timing belt the day before i was thinking it hopped timing so i tried to drive it home the car had absolutely nooooo power at all it barely wanted to accelerate i coasted to the nearest parking lot when i opened the hood the motor was extreamly hot!!!! 5 times hotter than what it normally is so i called my friend and towed it home. that night i got it to turn on it ran like shit I put my aftermarket fuel pressure regulator on to check the fuel pressure and i set it to 50 psi to make it run a little rich i thought i bent a valve so i redid the timing to make sure it was good. the car started right up and ran good so i took it around the block it drove nice i got on the main road got into boost a bit and it would get power and then lose it it drove when i was getting near a light it did the extreme loss of power thing again and didn't want to go i help the pedal half way the turbo spooled and the car went and it felt decent then it freed up and started to run good so i just took it back home and parked it. when i was letting it idle the fuel pressure regulator said 40psi i tried to turn it up and no matter how much i turned it the gauge would never go above 40psi Any ideas my guess is the fuel pump its the stock one and i think the turbo got the best of it.
