I have an 03 cav auto and started my car now that i just got the turbo on. It is a hahn turbo. I started the car up and fired up the 1st time. I have a a/f ratio of 14.0-15.0. I only have a vac press of 12lb. When i try to put it into grear it dies on me... If i cant understand this soon im going to try and sell this.

Could be a lot of different things. Check all your vacuum lines and charge piping for leaks.

Good first place to start.



I used to race cars, now I race myself.

hahn says their kits are not for auto cars for a reason.

Because of the charge pipes and possibly the down pipe, nothing that is causing his problems.

Okay someone correct me if I'm wrong.... but he stated in his post that he was in 12 in/hg (vac)......... at idle shouldn't he be a lot more close to 20 in/hg (vac)............. That's what I see................... I know Sunfighter GT see thats ....... I think Skilz at one point or another said he see's this too .........

Just a thought....... Vac lines hooked up properly ?????

how does it bog ...................... ??

More info would help a lot !

The last time I held to it that charge piping was the only reason, Bill came on here and discussed other problems when testing on auto cars. Talk to him about it if you want, or Hypsy.
