She is running ok. I test drove the car today for 30 miles. Ran fine no CEL's. It does seem to stall on decel alot more now then with the greddy kit. Usally stock it never stalled. Anyone got any hints? Also my power steering does not work The light is on in the dash. Any tips would be great.

Check the BOV. You may need to harden or soften it. We harden it a bit before & the thing stalled on de-accel quite a bit. Some people had the same thing when they softened it too much. Try that.

There is a connector by the radiator that goes to the steering torque sensor.

So Broke, now that you are back on the road again, what was the final verdict on what happened? What did your 8 do leading up to this? Any little events that we should be looking for if we are greddy turboed? Good luck with this motor

It appears that you need the WDS for everything. Sucks but got to take it to the dealer.

Re:stalling---on rx-7s usually was caused by intake leaks.Have you checked for leaks. I usually spray brake cleaner on the joints to find leaks.
