Used evo had for 4 days now its running terribly
So I bought a "built" evo 8 and it was running a Precision 6262 turbo (recently replaced with new 6262) at about 34 psi. I am not going to lie I was beating the hell out of the car for the last hundred miles. I messed with the boost controller and turned it up slightly (to spiking at 35 psi) I was on the highway and got on it and at full boost 5-6000 rpms I noticed a chatter in the turbo almost like it hit a wall and was misfiring, I milked it home and it progressively got worse. When I got home it stalled right out and I had to pump the gas to fire it up and get it into my garage.
I am not 100% sure what caused the problems.
I checked the cylander pressure and the were all 144- to 155 cold.
I changed the plugs, and cleaned the air filter.
I also did a full pressure test on the intake side and it held fine (no major boost leak) I did find a the little caped lines right off the throttle body were dry rotted so I recapped them with new rubber.
I am new to the evo scene (been wanting one since they came out) but I am beyond my knowledge base.
Let me know what you would try next.

It was running 34 psi prior on 93 octane. So I turned it up a pound. I did change the plugs yesterday, turned the boost back down to 34psi and fixed a small leak in the throttle body (rubber caps on throttle body) it ended up firing right up and drove pretty good. When I got on the highway it ran fine then the service engine soon light came on... Still drove better than previously. When I shut it off if would not start up, no click no nothing, lucky for me I was on a hill and popped the clutch and it fired right up, drove it home and parked in the garage, tried starting again and same thing, pulled code and I got error with crank position sensor, which I ordered and should be in by Wednesday. Would this make the starter not even turn or engage, everything else works, radio, lights, ect. I can here the fuel pump kick on too. I'm glad it finally through a code though and it makes sense why that could lead to running like crap
