I had this problem too. I fixed it by going to colder plugs and gaping them to only .22. In addition I put dielectric grease on all of my connections as well as the ends of the plug wires.

Also, check the connector to the cam sensor. The wires are thin and can easily be damaged because of their location.

One thing that really cured my mileage problem was the throttle body butterfly valve seals. They leaked at only 7 psi.

I have the FP Green, PTE 780s and a Walbro. I am boosting 25psi on 93 pump. No problems what so ever now.

Try re-gapping your plugs down to .22. I bet the problem goes away.

You said 60k? Did you do your timing belt? Take off your timing belt cover and check the tension of the belt. I've seen loose timing belts cause the same kind of sputtering you're talking about.

thats what im thinking bc when i had my clutch replaced and i got the car back, the turbo sounded like a big turbo lol! It sounded more of a supercharger sound than a turbo So im thinking there may be a leak somewhere. Im still gona have a fuel pressure test done when i take the car.. I just havent had a chance to do it bc i was moving and busy with work.. Let me know if u find ur problem
