When I hit wot in very low rpms the engine cuts out once the turbo is fully spooled...but if i go wot at higher rpms, the engine pulls strong to redline. I have a series 2 RB25 with a "blow-thru" air meter setup on the cold side of the intercooler piping. Any suggestions?

Are you using the stock MAF on the charged side? If so, why are you using this setup exactly? Why not just simply put the MAF back on the non-charged side? I would do this and see if it works before anything else.

Sorry that I don't know your problem. But the best way to troubleshoot is to put everything back where it belongs and then go from there.

it sounds like your MAF is too close to the engine, and the pulses from the cylinders are making the maf go nuts! move it farther away or put it back where it was stock.
