I cant boost any thing over 4000 rpms. The engine just kinda dies and loses all power.

yeah you should gap them to .030, I think you are just running pig rich. You aren't supposed to push the motor that hard without a tune anyway. How much psi are you running?

hard to say the boost gage is off by a little it says 6psi. if it helps i did not touch any of the setting on the boost controller.

good, because I turned that thing all the way down. I basically let the turbo boost from the wastegate spring. I think you are just running really rich. Any backfire?
