check your injectors if they are plugged in or check your maf wiring.

Check for boost leaks and what is your timing set at? Do you know what your a/f is when it is sputtering?

I would also recomend running your spark plug gap at 22, and using a 7 series ngk plug, it almost sounds like the extra boost is blowing out your spark

yeah its a trick I learned from an old SR guy, he done tons of swaps...now he does alot of RB stuff,...I need to do mine cause I just started boosting 21psi and after 16psi it starts to blow out my spark, Im still gapped at 32...guess I am going to have to keep it set on low boost for now

OK Changed my spring back to 9psi, did not help f**k,Wireing seems fine and all the injectors are fireing, (disconect 1 and the idle slows down)I don't know my a/f and what my timing is set at, to be honest never even checked the timing did not know you should since there is no distributor.

Starting to think I have a boost leak somewhere or my AFM is bad, all the clamps are fine, everithing looks OK, but how do I check for boost leaks?

Thank you all for your help
