Fuel Cut?

I just installed my new FP Red turbo along with GSC S1 cams, 780 injectors, HKS DLI, Walbro 255, and so on. Now when i and driving, turbo spools, all of a suddon there is a limiter type sounds and my car doesnt make anymore power is that because i have stock ECU. Probably a dumb question to all of you but im new to all this.

well, that is probably why your hitting fuel cut. It's stopping you from blowing your engine. Get a tune (a good one) and you will be set

If you live in Hamilton, NY, then why not drive gingerly down to Linden, NJ, and have Sean at IveyTune, flash your ECU for your new mods. In the meantime, don´t get into the loud pedal much.

installing all those parts is like having sex without a rubber. you're taking a chance. First of all, I would have went bigger with injectors, it's always better to have room with fuel then less. Secondly, you need a tune. With all those upgrades and no tune you would end up wasting your money because you blew you engine or turbo. I wouldn't boost on the car.. There's a 100% chance you will end up 'FN' things up. If you will notice alot of people will agree with me. Who seconds my vote? lol..

I agree. and i dont plan on driving the car until the ECU is tuned. and with the injector size what would be a good size?

Thanks
