Ok guys I'm actually posting for a friend I helped with the swap but am no pro with these engines lookin to you guys for some answers.

Pre Problem:Engine runnin great idles perfectly few boost leaks that we got fixed, pulls hard and isn't actin up at all. Has not been tuned tho and bro wouldn't listen to take it easy for awhile so I believe him runnin the car and gettin sideways backwards and stallin her out. (no pro to drift) So now we come to the...

Problem:Engine cranks then dies, cranks and dies again, now if we crank with some gas it will get to a rough idle but any gas after that will result in a massive drop in RPMs (if not stalling) and go back to rough idle again. There is also a strange noise something like a small rattle near the drivers side engine bay where the turbo is. This only occurs in gear under load while accelerating not while engine breaking (downshifting lol w/e is used on this forum). While accelerating prior to boost it seems alil sluggish and will die sometimes when the foot has been takin off the throttle. We can still reach boost and its still boosting to about 7 psi.

We haven't run the car in about 2 days since the problem started occuring. My prognosis could be timing or a possible fuel problem? O possibly a turbo issue due to light oil coming from the BOV blowing onto the IC pipe in front of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys,Bart

OK, I can give some advice,1. check fuel pressure 36psi @idle ,43psi off idle2.check electrical connector at ecu,could be loose3.check all engine grounds and charging voltage4.check piping.5.timing?6.pull codespost a video if you can
