I have a 2003 RX 1 with a stage 2 bender turbo....I bought it last spring...I did a lot of work to it over the summer...I installed a larger turbo (replaced the 2554 with a 2560)...anyways when I tried it on the grass it worked great but now that winter is here I have noticed that it will pull really hard and then just seems to shut off..the first time it happened I just coasted to stop....turned it over and then it ran fine...I thought it might have been beacause it was really low on fuel and maybe it was sloshing back from the pickup in the tank on acceleration so I filled the tank (with premium) it still did it but not as bad....before I start ripping this thing apart to see what is up...does someone know of a simple solution or has this happened to anyone else....It feels almost like a clogged fuel filter or some kind of obstruction....any help would be appreciated
 
it runs hard then just stalls out or just fades and looses power?? how long does it pull WOT for before it cuts out on you?

got a wideband sensor on the thing??
 
It doesn't take long at WOT...It was worse when the tank was almost empty....a few seconds but by then your almost going 100mph...It definitely is starving for fuel....I do have a wdeband sensor but I wasn't looking at it...i am going to try it again today...with that huge electric fuel pump mounted up at the front under the intercooler...it should have a filter between it and the engine..shouldn't it?
