Could be a few things.
What are the AFR's at idle and when it bogs ?
Could be a vacuum leak. Best way to diagnose is with a OBD1 code reader to see what fault codes it getting.

wideband install is pending. I got the O2 bung welded just need to do the wiring. I will get back to you asap.

so mechanically car seems to be 99% done. I did a lot of cutting of the front valence to be able to fit the intercooler. All that needs to be done is headlights and bumper.

Alignment is done , new steering wheel is on and every nut and bolt is double checked.

Problem right now is engine and the hesitating. The engine fires right up and idles well, maybe a little low because it will easily die. When I drive it seems as if it has no power and hesitates, i also heard a misfire.

Im attaching pictures of the bay and of my fuse box. it seems there are 2 fuses missing when I compare it to how the other ones look. The car ran fine before the way it was.

Also my O2 sensor was not in when I got the car...just dangling from the chassis. I wonder if all the dirt and oil it picked up over time is making it not read right now. ...also confused why engine ran fine without it before?

I attached another picture of a connector I have no idea where ego connect.













hard to see but theres a black connector there just hanging out of the wheel well.

Finally came back to town. Had a solid 2 days to work. Bolted everything back on. Oil cooler on, intercooler on, fuel, electric, fresh gas and cranked it. Nothing. Took a solid 30 minutes to figure out why it wasn't turning on. Many thanks to Otis for spending the time out of his weekend to troubleshoot with me. Tested for spark, tested injectors with test light, double checked everything. Turns out fuel out is at the FPR. Switch fuel lines and fired her up. Didn't have much tim ego hang out, ran straight to miami for the FSU-UM game. I'll be down in a week to finish everything up. Here's some pics.

Good stuff man. I must of missed it, but what're you doing for flares?
That's also a pretty aggressive curve on the wastegate dump. Remember, less boost means more exhaust will be bleeding through the gate rather than passing through the turbine.

I have Kameron's flares waiting to be put on. I know its a bit of an aggressive angle theres just not a lot of space to integrate the dump. The exhaust is straight, no restrictions so it won't be backed up at all besides the angle. I want to run the 8 psi for a couple months but it will be turned up to around 15 when I can collect some more cash and retune.
