I recently did a sr20det swap in my 240 and also put the t28 turbo on it. Everything seemed fine until i tried to speed up in first.Once it hits about 5 grand it seems like the turbo looses boost completely, i have to let off the gas and let it glid and then put it back into gear. When it happens a high pitch whistle sound blows out and i can smell some fuel. I don't know if its from a boost leak or vacum leak. If anyone can help i would really appreciate it. Thank you

First thing.Go remove all your couplers and such, and make sure its all on correctly, then come back.
