got a stainless steel manifold (with uprated gasket from fen sport), hks actuator, frontmount intercooler, decat downpipe (with uprated gasket from fen sport), induction kit in my ep 82 running the car on about 13 psi / 14psi (1 bar) but whats happening now is that as soon as i put my foot down about 3 and half 4 thousand rev the car starts cutting off as thou its going to stall, im thinkin it might be safety devce for fuel cut!? possibly a fuel cut defender needed?????

first off.. turn down the boost!!! you need an aftermaket fpr and fcd... fuel cut is at .9 of a bar and will damage your engine if you keep hitting it.. is the eml light coming on??

x2. You can't just wind up the boost to a bar without supporting fueling mods. Well you can but you'll blow up your engine

you dont need an uprated fuel pump..ya mate you do need a fcd with stock ecu.. the eml light should be coming on around .82 of a bar before fuel cut to warn ya your getting close to it.. what ecu is in the car??

no need mate.. with you setup all you need is a adjustable fpr and fcd... get it setup propperly of course.. check the ecu.. its just behind glove box.. its a silver box, cant miss it.. see whats written on it

just to let you know mate because your car is an ep82 youl find that the ecu is infact located behind the centre console, defiantly sounds like fuelcut to me too, and on my 82 i never got an eml just before it hit cut possibly just a 91 thing?
