YES I KNOW THIS ISNT A CELICA! but its the same engine/pcm.
so my friend installed a bigger DP (3") and is running it open till he can get the exhaust on. is this fuel cut he's experiencing normal? i didnt know it wouldnt allow ANY boost till the next key cyle! QUOTE I'm pretty sure I hit the fuel cut on my way home from Russ' house tonight. I down shifted and floored it, and about 2 seconds after hitting full boost the car fell on its face and the SES light came on. The car stayed running, and the light went off, but anytime I hit boost at all after that, anything in the postives, the car would cut and the SES light would come on for a second or two. So either the car wont let you boost after you hit the fuel cut, or something else is wrong. But I definitely need to get the exhaust fixed if this is going to be a common problem, lol. QUOTE I hooked up the boost gauge today to see what kind of boost I was hitting. I had to ghetto rig it, which was pretty amusing. I had the vacuum line coming out of the side air intake vent and in through the window of the car :lol:
 Anyway, it's boosting up to 13psi, but not any higher than that. I'm kind of relieved because I started to think that maybe there could be a problem with the wastegate. I had to manipulate it some when I installed it. Like I said before, once I hit the fuel cut it wont let me boost to even 1 psi before it cuts out again. All I have to do is turn the car off, then back on again and it resets it, but still a problem nonetheless. So, first thing is to get the exhaust fixed. After that, we will see where it goes.

its fuel cut, like everyone said.
tell you friend to install a fuel cut defender, or simply disconnect and cap the vac line that goes to the map sensor (just keep an eye on your boost gauge). -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

A golf tee and a zip tie to hold it in place works wonders for capping the vac line. --------------------  |
