Unhappy turbo timer problem

my evo borke down on my way to cali and at the random mitsu dealership i took it to reset my ecu but and now the turbo timer sometimes seems to be like a fraction of a second off droping the rev but kicking in just before the car dies. every once in a while it is too late and the car turns off and the timer keeps counting down like its on. any way i can fix this?

Unplug the battery and see if it fixes the problem. If not then I would try un-plugging your harness you bought to install the TT with. Also, if you have the "kill-switch" of the TT connected to your e-brake, try disengaging the e-brake before the TT turns off and if it is still a fraction of a second off then maybe that might be your problem.

there is a good chance that they ign and the acc wires off of the turbo timer are switched.
if its a greddy turbo timer the ign says on the entire time. but the acc wire only turns on when you turn the key off

Mine does this for a fraction of a sec., never stalls the car though.
