@exit341.autoresc I've asked you three times to please create your own thread. Three times you have posted in someone elses thread with the exact same issues. So I went ahead and created this thread for you. PLEASE keep the issues related to you car in this thread and this thread only. If you don't understand, please message me for help, rather than reposting the same issue in someone elses thread.

In addition, myself and others have replied to you. I will ask again.. IS THE CAR TUNED? If it is not, this is your problem.

You need the correct ECU and a correct tune, or else it will not work. I would remove the turbo and go back to the stock ECU, or risk blowing up and ruining your motor completely (if not already)

... then get the stock ECU tuned by a reputable shop. Research how to properly set up a turbo system and having the ECU tuned is one of the most basic and important parts of it. If you dont know that, its likely you did something else wrong.

Id like to hear your reason as to why and how you chose a GSR (whichever of the many years) ECU.

Your fueling is going to be way out dude especially running a single cam with a twin cam ecu , get a chipped ecu or hondata ect and go for a remap. I'd advise upgrading the injectors too.

If the d16y7 is anything like the d16z6 we get here in the uk they respond very well to boost with a few upgrades.
