Car Wont Rev Past 5,000rpm

[JiN_MaN]

Was driving this car around in japan for 2 days with a stuffed manifold/turbo gasket. Its now back in aus and last night I replaced the gasket.

Things I took off:

Top intercooler pipe

BOV

Standard heat shield

Couple of Vac/boost lines

Turbo

Also played with, but didnt remove:

Rubber intake pipe/AFM/POD

Bottom intercoolerpipe

Car:

FMIC

15psi

standard Turbo

Exhaust

Ive been over things 2/3 times still no luck, feels like the intake pipe is sucking closed, cause if I keep my foot on the throttle the problem keeps going if, I take my foot off it acts like normal.

*just had a thought that maybe I split an intercooler rubber joiner??? Will check that as well,

I dont have internet (at a friends house) any help would be great will check again hopefully tomorrow. Thanks for the help

Coil Packs, remove the coil pack cover, have a look with the engine running at nite and if you see electrical lightning storms, the coil packs are arching out.

yeah, my fuel-pump was slowing dying ova the year.,,

well u could feel that wen pushing hard on throttle it wasnt the same..

then some days in the morin wen turning...and if i planted the throttle..

it would hit lik 4000 or 5000rpms..around der.. and lik feel like boost cut..

"lik ur pushing a brick wall"

so anyways..i just replaced my fuel pump with a gen. walbro kit..rated to 550hp..great fit..easy install...

and now..no more issues..

hope this helps..

When taking changing the exhaust/turbo gasket I bumped a line running to the boost solenoid and it had come off but was still sitting on the end of the plug. Reconnected it and everything is fine.
