Okay, So i went ahead and while i was at the gas station just touch the maf sensor and my car shut off....I will check my oil and plugs once i get home, but i replaced my oil less than 1000 miles ago. I will update once i get home and check it out!

Sorry if i came off wrong! I appreciate all you guys help so much you have no idea!!!! My fuel trims are -20.88 all the time. From the second the car turns on, no matter the throttle position. (Except WOT its at 0.16) My car smells like a gas station LOL. I will send you a picture of the...

I just started checking every inch of this engine, and have come up with some items that might need my attention. 1. I see oil dripping from my injectors 2. There a hose that leads into the brake booster that looks cracked and someone taped over it. 3. There a hose that leads into my intake...

So I tried to replicate the results I got when I removed the o2 sensor. No luck. I guess it was a coincidence. I receive my vacuum tester today in the mail, I’ll check that too. An observation I made: when I press my accelerator, it says my position is 100% but my throttle plate doesn’t move...

Okay so update, I took the car to a shop here that I’ve been to, and the guy swears my car isn’t clogged. He did a vacuum test, he checked the difference in heat, and says that the cat is most definitely not clogged. What he said to me after driving the car is he feels it’s an issue with my...

...... what 10mm nut...... Give me the cheese

LET A MAN DREAM LOL I'll be back in 2 business days after fighting with that downpipe

I will be removing the down pipe today, doesn't seem too hard honestly. Once i do it, and the car runs good i'll mark this post as solved! Thanks a lot everyone, i really appreciate all the help!!!

It's just such a weird angle, i'm trying to see how the heck ill be able to break it down. Maybe a right angle tube? Or i guess i could put a long extension and some a drill and go to town on it LOL

So my question is, lets say i get that done, can i drive the car home, and wont have problems? I will be doing an e-tune with FreekTune, but i'd still have to get home

By the way I have the downpipe you linked from COBB, that exact one! It was cheaper though, i paid $550 for it. I guess it's just a throw away if i have to replace it. Okay, i will take your advice and order a catless one. Unfortunately i use this car to get to and from school/work.... If...

Well I live in Florida (no inspections FTW!) so I might just go to an exhaust shop and have them cut it out. Could I tune my car for this? I plan on contacting FreekTune (unless you guys have other recommendations?)

I only drove about 250 feet. Parked it, now I’m gonna reinstall the sensor and drive to an exhaust shop. Do I have to replace the whole down pipe? Or is there cleaner?

IT WORKED!!! My turbo hit 5PSI! But the engine cuts out (I’m guessing cause the sensor isn’t plugged in?) this is the first time I’ve boosted in months!

I called a shop, and they suggested i remove an o2 sensor before the cat and drive it, if power is restored the cat is clogged. Seeing as this is my first turbo car, does it matter if i start it without the wide band just to see if it actually is able to boost?

It has a aftermarket DP with a cat. It's a COBB DP. Now that you mention it, when i purchased my car it was running rich for boost leaks. My original turbo had the same symptoms i had now. How do i check if its clogged? Also, the O2 sensors were so dirty and caked when i removed and replaced...

I can try that. So i block off where the BOV is, or can i just put a plug on the part that goes back into the air intake side? Yes, i will send over the logs today after work!

I am thinking of just removing everything from my exhaust manifold to my intake manifold, and checking the whole thing top to bottom. This has been going on too long. I've taken it to multiple shops with no luck. EDIT* I don't know if i mentioned this, but when i accelerate all i hear is a...

Yes, I used solid epoxy and sealed it.

I have not tried that, if the MAP sensor is bad will it cause me not to boost? I posted a log above, if you look at it, my engine is dumping fuel, and not getting any air. My car is SLOW(er). It feels like i have less than 100hp. My 0-60 would be like 20 seconds. I have 4 DTCs. 2188 -...
