Is your air filter clean? Fuel filter? Do you know your fuel pressure?

Hope these don't sound like stupid questions but you've got to start somewhere.

So this happened right after the cp3 mod...?

Maybe that's the problem?

Maybe I should've thought of this first.... Do you have the notorious plastic intercooler ends that have been known to crack and leak???

Maybe you can do a pressure test by removing the air intake all the way to the turbo, fab up something to enclose the intake of the turbo (3.5" or whatever it is) hose and same sized pipe with endcap and a schrader valve so you can pump around 40psi of air pressure and see if it holds. If it doesn't you should be able to chase down the leak with some soapy water sprayed on the tubing, hoses, intercooler,etc.

Keep me informed as to what you find out... I guess I'm the only one responding to you in this thread....

I have the stock plastic intercooler sitting in my garage. I'd give it to you but shipping is probably more than what the thing is worth...
