Default Turbo Specialties INSTALL HELP***

I did a turbo specialties kit install on a friends 2001 Accord 4cycl, I am having issues with it bucking under acceleration and under boost, it runs fine with the charge pipe disconnected... they sent me another MAP unit to try no sucess.. I checked the connections for both the MAP Unit and the Fuel Controller.. the injectors do fire if I ground both circuts ect.. Anyone run into this problem with this kit or similar?
Thanks,
-=Rick

what is your engine management? Sounds to be like u need to get a real stand alone not a piggy back, or FMU... Get either crome/neptune/hondata/Aem ems... go have it tunned correctly.

the way you have it right now, is a good way to have shitty performance and a great way to expire your motor in a quick fashion.

I agree.. we may have to go this route..
This is what we are running...

I'm not a fan of the electronics portion of this kit... I orderd a "missing link" to replace the map box... it seems to almost run better with the box removed but still hits a wall under heavier acceleration and looses power.. I just tried it that way to see what happens as I first suspected the map box...

Next I will be checking the fuel pressure and volume.. if that doesn't show something I am thinking we need to go another route with the fuel management..

As I may have said.. the car runs fine with the charge pipe removed... its only under boost.. that we see this problem..

today I checked the fuel pressure.. and it does run 42 at idle.. 53 off idle.. and if I put 8psi to the regulator I see 80psi.. if I clamp off the return hose to the tank I see about 80psi.. and I seem to have pretty good volume as well..

Any other ideas? I have a missing link on order.. so I am going to try that.. after that I'm not sure.. pretty much out of ideas.. possibly reffer this customer to a tuner shop that can program his factory ecu?

Today, the missing link arrived.. and I ditched the Map Box and installed it.. WoW this car really runs nice now... much much better...

Thank you for all the suggestions guys!
