Hi I just installed a greddy turbo kit over the weekend it started right up no problems. but I'm realizing that on part throttle the the power feels inconsistent and the car inst that much faster I'm thinking its lean or maybe the stock exhaust and cat are holding it up. But i see that many people make plenty of power with stock stuff. Has anyone experienced this problem any insite would be appreciated thank you in advance.

 

did u get it tuned?

 

No just the base map I thought the base map runs rich I was going to drive it for a little while before I got it tuned. I just want to be safe.

 

Pull your plugs and post pics...

 

I can't get a pic up now but its black on the outside and white as paper on the inside and the elelectrode looks lighter then when I put them in.

 

did you also replace your plugs with 1 step colder? The basemap ran like crap on my car. I wouldn't suggest you going WOT unless your tuned. Get a wideband and visit a local tuner.

 

i m on the same boat with u. but after i replaced the 1 step cooler plug, its smoother.
i realized it isnt that much faster, i installed the boost gauge and it reads 6psi boost only so it kinda make sence.
read more post of the greddy kit, i was thinking to just run on the base map, but after i read more post, i think it make sence to get it tune because the base map is only for u to drive the car safely to the tuner, not for u to go WOT all the time.
moreover, i dont mind to spend 300-500 more on top of my $4k turbo kit to make it runs right.
just get a better exhaust, HFC or even some test pipe if u want and get it tune. people get around 20-30 WHP more out of the tune average.
just my $0.02

Thanks guys I just ordered an exhaust, a/f sensor w/ harness ,boost sensor w/ harness for the emanage. I all ready had the colder plug in and here is cylinder 1.

 

looks pretty rich...did you pull the plugs immediately after doing a pull?

 

since i took this picture I've put in a wide band and full exhaust. the car is pig rich and wot, but lean on part throttle. and yes this was after a pull.
