I am getting turbo lag and it's gay, about 6 months ago swifty and I hooked up a 2g mas to my 1g, and I got a check engine light, and then swifty pointed out that one wire was off and now it's ok, but it seems like I lost horsepower after putting the intake on, the reason I ask if anyone knows what could be the problem is becuase I have 660's, and FPR, SAFC, and boost controller to put in as a little winter project and I don't want to blow something up, if anyone knows what could be the source of this or what I could do to fix it I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

boost leak? Also, check those gaskets between the manifold and turbo, and the turbo to the exhaust. Sometimes, they decide to blow apart, and can end up sideways, blocking flow for the exhaust. that happened to me not too long ago, so I removed them, and it felt like a new car again.

What is the rest of your setup? Stock turbo? Why put a 2g mas on if it is a stock car still? I guess we need more information. For all we know, you could be throwing all the parts in the world on and not making any progress due to misinformation.

Tuning is also a big thing. Make sure that's somewhat correct.
