whats wrong with my car?!

my car just got its greddy turbokit fully installed today, and when i picked it up my car was having problems..and this is all happening while driving normal!

so my car was done today..they said it was good to go....

problem 1)i drove it like normal, and it pops all the time when i let off the gas pedal, the only time it doesn't pop is when it goes into boost..

problem 2)driving the speed limit and most of the time on the way back from the shop on the freeway,my car is always going into boost when i dont want it too,the exhaust starts sputtering then forces me into boost

problem 3)if i drive faster than 20mph i believe,and i put my car into neutral,my car dies on me,then i have to turn my car back on, this happens to me on the highway also,and my car just coasts until i turn it back on..

any ideas? any one..?

i just realized where i posted this thread..sorry i put this in the wrong area

I'd park your car and lock it up in the garage.

Then get a tow truck to tow it down to the dyno on Friday.

To err on the side of caution - do not drive it all all till then.

i see..yea i was asked if i have it recirculated or not..and no its not, when i have time ill make sure to do that..question is tho..ive been looking through threads about ppl recirculating it,the only thing i can't figure out is,i see them connect a hose from the bov,then where too? back to the intake?

You reconnect it after the MAF sensor but before the compressor inlet.

Eddie: Do you think you can check in on this friday, the day before the dyno day? Jedi was mentioning some pre-tuning work be done over at MM's hotel. PM Jedi for more details and see if they're still doing it -

Reason: there's going to be a bunch of cars there on saturday and they might not have enough time to trouble shoot your car - but if you show up on friday i'm sure they can at least locate the issue - and hopefully they can diagnose it before you try and step up to the dyno...

my guess would be the greddy intake not playing well with accessport's MAF-based readings...

what intake are you using? Are you using the Accessport?

Which BOV do you have?
