    massive power loss and lurches a lil under boost

    88 daytona t2 has new annoying development. Itll run like her normal self like a bat outta hell then when she reaches operating temp she starts to feel like a stock 2.2 it shows its reaching normal boost levels but it doesn't feel like it and has a slight lurch under boost. I found the vac line from the pcv valve sucked shut and when I pulled the pcv valve off there was a small piece plastic stuck in there so do I need to redo the vac lines to look for debris what am I in for ? Any help appreciated!

    That is where i would most definitely start. Would most likely solve your current problems and prevent future ones... Putting a vacuum block in is fairly easy once you get started if you do not have one yet and replacing any other rubber/plastic lines are just good insurance.

    Ended up replacing the pcv vac line and all is well now but I'm reaching 15 lbs of boost fast and hitting over boost can I over ride this?

    Not a good idea using stock injectors and going over 14.7psi. Stay under 14.7psi if you want to keep your engine together with stock injectors and 2bar map sensor.

    If you want to go over 14.7psi, you'll need bigger injectors, 3 bar map sensor and 3 bar calibration.
