Help With My Turbo

i am having probelms with my turbo, im driving a 96 eclispe with a greddy set up (turbo, front mounted inter-cooler, air intake, BOV). the other day i was on the freeway and everything was going fine but when i went to gas-it to pass some one up my turbo spooled like normal but as i held onto the gas the rpms shot up and the turbo cut. my engine was reving up but there was no power. everything runs fine. the turbo works fine in first and second gears but when i get into third the turbo starts to spool but cuts leaving my engine reving into high rpms with no power.

Re: Help With My Turbo

is your car a manual? sounds like your clutch is slipping...they can do this under a heavy load...the cause could be improper adjustment, or bad clutch...slipping is when you give throttle, and engine rpm's increase with no speed increase of the car...sounds like that's what is happening to you.
