I finally got me IC installed yesterday. It was a little work but nothing too bad. I did have a bitch of a time with the diverter valve plumbing. It's odd but my car seems slower with the IC. Matt seems to think I have a leak but I hit fuel cut and that tells me that the MAP is seeing 12 psi. I need to install that FCD now.

Do you have a boost guage? I bet your boost level is down a few psi = less power.

Boost down a few psi, so ECU compensates for the pressure drop and ups the boost, it sees 12psi and cuts.

It is faster, but only for 3 seconds at a time before it cuts fuel.

I don't know at this point. I opened up my mbc so that I'm running minimal boost. I got to a party last night and my coolant system was boiling. The turbo coolant send line was bubbing through the clamp.

Was the car running way hot?

Sounds like you might have a bad thermostat... How often did/do your radiator fans kick on?

I don't think it's the thermostat because I'm not overheating. The car just gurgles when I shut it off. The temp gauge says I'm ok, unless it's broken. Even if I turn my boost up, the car runs like poo. My diverter valve seems to be loud, could that be the problem? Maybe my coolant tank cap isn't sealing properly. I reset the ECU after install and it didn't help at all. The IC doesn't seem to leak so I'm at a loss. I hit fuel cut when I turn up the boost so if I have a leak it must be at the MBC or something.

do you have enough fluid in the overflow tank?

Mine was bubbling like that when I had an air bubbles in the system. Opened up the coolant tank, and it was dry inside. Just filled it back up and voila! It went away.

Fix it and happy hunting.
