my story: i was driving down the road, at a thrilling speed of 10, i shift into second and my blow off starts.. um.. blowing off? i shifted way below any RPM for this to even kinda happen(no boost no blow off) I think wow, um thats not right, and so i give her a little bit more gas and let off and she starts fluttering (hks flutter valve) for a good 5-6 seconds. and im like what. and then im like whoa because she stalled. i was pulling into my drive way, and halfway down my drive i pop the clutch, she springs back to life. \so i pop the hood, press her throttle and she shutters like shes dying all while her bov is going off like a pigeon on drugs. once her bov shuts up she quits playing dead and acts normal. all things considered. i checked all of my plumbing and everything is connected. i checked all my vacuum lines, theyre all good, A CLUE! im leaking oil out of my turbo (but thats okay because as soon as the chevy runs she has a brand manifold W.G bov and turbo going on). thats my only oil leak. she isnt down oil though i make damn sure of that. ive never had a turbo go out, but im thinkin im about to experience it. maybe. i dont know. this is my first car with a computer and no carbeurator...so any help? thanks. sorry my story is so long.

^More than likely the case. The stock WGAs are notoriously unreliable after a while, and these cars are also notorious for springing vacuum leaks. I'd double check the vacuum lines again, look for cracks near the connections.
You have a vacuum/boost gauge installed? It's a very useful diagnostic tool..

yeah- but it doesnt work, and in the process of trying to find out if it was the sensor stupid computer thing connected to the line that didnt work, or the gauge itself that was jacked up i broke the line and just capped off the hose. whenever my car starts to act like its about to lose it its normaly the case. unfortunatly this is a whole new ball park. ugh. hey, is it even possible to fit this t3/t4 turbo in here? i was lookin at it today and the way my hard piping is set up , and where my rad. and fans are. like. i feel like im going to have to do some serious modification. not that it wouldnt be cool to have a custom msp that is an inch longer than everybody elses, but its alot of work. does anybody have a t3t4 set up on theirs? i got the obx header thats crazy twisty huge and my waste gate is the freaking size of canada. before i venture i would like some common sense installed. awe you guys are so helpful.

im running a t3/t4. you need a new manifold, down pipe, charge pipes and slim fans.
