Extremely low load when hitting boost
A buddy is logging his car, he had a fp green, when at 3000-5000 rpm he is around 110-130 load.. What could be the issue?
He put in fp green, cams, headstuds n a 60k service

He is talking about my car. I just installed the turbo, manifold, 02 housing, cams, springs, injectors and fuel pump this week. Run was done at full boost of 25lbs.
some history of the build
I had to replaced my oem 02 sensor with a bosch universal since the oem wouldnt come out of the old 02 housing no matter what i did.
I did a boost leak test and found no leaks.
After the install car started and idled fine. But once we took it out on the road it began to stall when coming to a stop and then continue to stall and not wanna start unless i gave it gas to keep it running. So first thought was timing but i checked and its all lined up and good. So then we thought maybe boost leak but couldnt find any at all.
Today after some reading on the forum we got the car to idle on startup and not stall when coming to a stop. I did turn the biss screw out a few turns and Steve (5LEEPERISAH23I) made some adjustments to the idle in the software.
I dont know if its my universal 02 thats messing things up, maybe the cas? or could timing possibly be off even thou all marks are lined up. The car runs and drives under normal conditions as long as I dont boost and the a/f's are bouncing between 14-16 like normal. Before the install i had no issues and car ran great with previous tune. i'm so lost and never had this issue before even with the dsm's i have built in the previous years. Steve should hopefully post up the file soon so you guys car take a look.
Thanks ahead of time!!!
