This is because they can't read the additional air that is pushed in by the turbo.
How true is it? Opting for a programmable ECU like HALTECH seems a little overkill for this problem.....does anyone here have any opinion. Would relly appreciate it . Thanks
Make sure that your spark isn't getting "blown out". This has happened on my turbo'd Miata at high rpms in 4th & 5th gear, a new set of plugs & wires, along with a tighter gap, seemed to do the trick.
What are you using for fuel enrichment while under boost? Rising rate FPR?
