    I am attempting to REVIVE this thread from THE DEAD. Life has thrown me multiple curve balls throughout the past few months and the car was basically forgotten about. BUT, my twin brother is getting married in November and has DROPPED THE BOMB that he would like to drive off in the stang IF...

    Turbo Woes

    I wish, been swamped with work and being out of town every weekend. My goal is to datalog this week and see if I can seal the MAP/IAT sensor better. Unfortunately I don't have an air compressor to pressurize the intake. If that doesn't fix anything I'm heavily considering taking it back to...

    It's been a great car the whole time I've owned it (5+ years). Once these few small gremlins are figured out it will be great again. Should have never touched it, I admitted that a year ago. Very expensive learning experience.

    Want to buy it back? Haha

    The IAT2/MAP is mounted on the upper intake right by the IAC sensor. The hole was already drilled. I'm thinking there could definitely be a vacuum leak there as the mounting location doesn't look like the map sensor is sitting as flush as I would like (was already drilled when I got it).

    Juiced, Yes, car was running perfect before I started the swap. Bought the kit off a member here. Supposed to have a Hellion cold side and a custom hot side. I also traded the timing chain cover, pulleys, alternator, necessary cooling lines, UPR K member, coil overs, 01 cobra upper and lower...

    Thank you for reading through the whole thread again and providing input, much appreciated. 1. I believed the MAP sensor was bad because of the subtle (before the 12PSI pull) rough idle and missing throughout the RPM range. Additionally, while researching the codes it somehow (it's been a...

    This is extremely intriguing, you think that's the bases for all my problems (Codes, lean/rough idle)? At this point I think it's worth the gamble to try it. Thanks for your input, it is VERY appreciated.

    I took it off and went to Advanced Auto and had it bench tested.

    Update: I replaced the MAP with a new sensor and nothing has changed. Ever since the above mentioned 12PSI pull the car now idles rough on start with the A/F gauge pegged lean. The throttle is extra responsive (as if it has higher compression) and the A/F drops richer when I burp the throttle...

    I'm in the process of getting Grundy right now. For those who have it, did you have to do anything besides the online process to get your coverage?

    Well, not sure what I did but I looked a few things over and took it for a spin to datalog this weekend. Made two quick small pulls near the house trying to get it to shut itself down and couldn't get it to do it. First pull I only ran it to 4300 RPM in second gear, second run (didn't datalog) I...

    Did some digging and found this thread from the previous owner. https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/my-terminator-just-went-nuts-need-help.735033/ Think I'm going to look over the fuse boxes this weekend.

    Care to elaborate? I am retarded when it comes to electrical problems (such as this).

    Now that I've recreated the problem a few times I have noticed the following regarding the actual shut down: 1. The colder the car is, the longer it makes it/harder I have to push it to shut down (about 75% throttle, shut down around 4k rpm when it starts to see boost). 2. The warmer the car...
