PS have him check all couplers and see if one came loose, i lost power on my bandaid system before i went ms due to a boost spike that knocked a coupler off.

so a new ecu would probably help the stalling issue?

There going to tell you to go ms, i dont know a whole lot about it yet becuse i just got mine in the car, but Brain builds them, so talking to him would be a good start.

MT.net's hate of bandaids and piggybacks is almost legendary.

However, I can tell you I am certain it is related in some way to your ECU. Do you have a datalog (And something we can use to view it!) of when it does what you are talking about? As an example, a temperature or MAP sensor reading incorrectly could cause the ECU to pull enough fuel to cause it to do what you are talking about.

Just saw the MT.net response, I called it.

Honestly, he's right. Piggybacks at the OP's level of modification may as well have the OP pissing in the wind in trying to track this issue down.

ps may want to make a plate to cover the gap between the where the radiator is supposed to sit and where it is now.

And you should at least install some kind of heat shield between your rubber lines + the brake master and the turbo.

And put an air filter on the empty nipple on the driver's side of the valve cover.

And...

Oh man, you got bigger problems to be worrying about than an ECU. Smack your brother and make him clean his ---- up.

Well ok then, im gonna have him try and hold it all together until i get back and i can give it a look over. thanks for the insight so far and i will try and build some things for it.
