Wierd Turbo Problem.

Whenever I hit boost and brake suddenly my car shuts off. When I try to start it it runs rough. But as soon as I reset the ecu by taking the ground wire off my battery for 15sec and start it up it goes back to normal. I've also noticed when I had this problem I took my IC piping of to the throttle body it seemed to suck air in like a bat out of hell. Now who the hell knows what could be my problem??

sounds like your car is going into limp mode.
Are you using the stock MAP sensor? What are you doing for engine management?

nope, I have no clue what you're problem could be.. its mind altering, you think a turbo would just bolt on with no probs?

btw most check valves don't really work and are un-reliable

to adjust your bov.. tighten or loosen it until it blows off at around 4 psi.. then go for a drive and see how it feels.

If it flutters it's too tight.
