i have an 87 supra(list of mods are on my profile). Whenever i floor it the car goes great for a sec, then starts to accelerate slowly and sputter for alil bit then boost kicks in and pins me 2 the seat. never did that b4. i am thinkin it could b fuel possibly? i have an hks fcd and its set on 3. should it b somewhere else? thanx guys

Have you checked your plugs and plug wires? Is the timing at stock (10* BTDC)? Have you tried taking off/bypassing the FCD? It's more likely an ignition problem than a fuel problem unless you've got some injector issues.

i already bought the hks fcd and replaced the wires 2day. they worked great for alil bit but now its worse. almost like a fuel cut feel... boost gauge will bobble up and down between 14 and 5lbs... and car jerks a few times for a second then gets full boost. my friend told me wastegate is sticking. :1zhelp: lol

Lots of members get kind of pissed when you dont research. Not trying to be a dick but its the truth, try and find out somethings besides asking what to do. What mod do you currently have?

yeah its best to remove it if you dont have fuel/piggyback, with it your running a risk of blowing up your motor. cause you wont have anything to control the fuel/ and other things that are a key in adding boost. anything above stock boost you will need to get supporting add ons.

example.

550cc injecters, lex maf, safc1/2, fuel pump, exhaust,

Fuel cut is their for a reason, it protects the engine. Not having the EGR is bad i cant think of why off the top of my head though, others will be able to tho.
