stock sr power problem

[LordOfTheMiasma]

I am sure it has been gone over before... and i searched around a bit but o well... i have my sr in and nothing more than a boost gauge hooked up. shows it boosting between 7 and 8 psi all the time.. but i got walked by a stockish ka.... timing is right, compression is almost perfect. I just dont know where to start looking. any suggestions? could it be a boost leak? the thing is on friends cars boost leaks mean it runs like ***. it runs perfect and sounds fine just doesn't have the power it should. any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would recheck the igniton timing and make sure its at 15o Second mark from the left on the crank pulley..Maybe a clogged cat or muffler??

rsr dp, 3 inch cat delete ( im in fl) and 3 inch apexi n1. and the timing is right unfortunately i wish it were that easy. we have double and triple checked it..

Is your clutch slipping ?? Or maybe a Vacuum leak??

You sure you're not too busy smoking those tires?

Is your ECU in limp mode?

are u tripping ur computer into timing mode before u check the timing?

Tripping the computer into timing mode??? im an sr newb sry if that was a dumb question. Why would it be in limp mode? thats what it is acting like but i duno why it would be. i Hve replaced the turbo, manifold, waste gate, checked timing with several timing guns ( duno baout the timing mode thing..) check compression and it was 156 across all 4... please help.. this is annoying.

How do you check if your ecu is in limp mode? How to you get it out of limp mode, or is it automatic?
