So got home today; checked the cams out and timing. It looked to be good. Then put everything back together. Started to talk about possibilities and my tuner noticed a vacuum line pinched between the blower and firewall, that went from the boost acuator to the master cylinder. I was actually pretty excited. So we got it loose, he left and I finished putting things back together.
Go to start the car and didn't notice the sound of the fuel pump. Checked all the fuses and wiring. Everything was fine. So I had to take the tire off, the fender well liner and check the pcm. I am not sure what happened but it seems I didn't have one of the harnesses seated right cause I reseated the three harnesses and check and everything was good. Put it all back together and went for a ride.
Still nothing good to report. No more backfiring. But still whenever I go past 1/4 throttle the car bogs down and doesn't move anywhere.
So I got gas, came home and swapped out all 8 coil packs. Went for another drive and same thing. Datalogged this trip to see what was going on. I did manage to hit 13lbs of boost so why I am not going anywhere I have no idea...
I will call my tuner tomorrow and see what's next.
