    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    It could be a big list of things!!

    Just what have you done trying to correct the problem?Are you reading the real time data?

    It sounds like your not getting enough air might be as simple as throttle adjustment .

    It still stalls at operating Temperature??

    Have you gone to the Turbo Kit manufacture with this issue?

    I feel your pain nothing worse at least to me then fixing someone else`s mistakes with after market parts.

    i hope you bought this cheap enough in the non running condition.

    This is going to be a long slow process Best of Luck.
