Angry bad day at the track!!!!!!!!

ok wet out to midnight madness with the new intercooler,intake,turbo-back exhaust,and greddy boost controller......sounds good right....oh no i was hitting fuel cut at 5,000rpm all night i thought it might be the k&n typhoon intake? or the boost controller itself? anyway i turned the controller off went wot,and no fuel cut.....i heard the k&n intake causes problems after 5,000rpm but doesnt happen till i turn boost controller on? should i just get a manual boost controller? im lost.....

There are plenty of 400+ HP Evos using the stock intake with a drop in filter. The Typhoon has probably the worst reputation for causing more problems than anything. Put your stock intake on, put the drop in of your choise in there, and call it a day. Good luck and keep us posted.

because when you turn that boost up the computer is trying to compensate for the changed a/f ratios and naturally tries to save your motor thinking its out of controll and wa la, fuel cut. A flash would easily get rid of this.

That's what happens when you pay no attention to what all of us suggest on here as far as mods go, then try to go out with the worst combo of mods imaginable while untuned and try to race. What in the world possessed you to purchase an FMIC, Typhoon intake, and EBC without being tuned, having a fuel pump or a BOV to hold the boost?

Sell the intake, re-install the stock airbox, add a Walbro fuel pump, get a Forge RS BOV, sell the EBC, get a Forge UNOS MBC, then get tuned. TurboTrix will give you a good flash, or you can get a Dynoflash.
