Ight so i have been havin a time with my msp since about 2 weeks after i bought it...when i hold the car at constant throttle/boost or if im goin up hill the car cuts out and falls on its face and will hardly go anywhere... it seems to make a wierd garggling noise and spits out black smoke like no other... not only that i have huge huge idle issues and it tries its best to die when i hold in the clutch to stop and red lights... and when i start it up from bein off for a lil while it doesnt want to stay runnin if i touch the gas at all it seems to flood it and die... im thinkin maybe wastegate bad and dumping way to much fuel causing it to smoke like a diesel truck... idk im new to the msp so please ppl help me out...

Somebody posted on here a while back regarding a WGA test. I think you have to blow thru the tube on the WGA. If you can't blow thru, your WGA is still good.

well i did the wga test and it seems to be good still... now im a stand still... the vaccum line from the wastegate is hooked into some kind of black box that says greddy on the top of it along with another vaccum hose that leads to the back of the engine... i was thinkin that maybe its a modual of some sort for an electronic boost controller but i dont have the controler on the inside... im not sure as to wat this box is or if maybe it is restricting the wastegate... i have no clue wat to look for now ppl... i have taking my egr off and cleaned it twice... checked the wastegate... and checked my vaccum lines and replaced one cracked one... and got a new maf... i cant figure out wtf is wrong with it... PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!

the greddy box is the boost controller, you ....should have a controller for that

Did you try taking the vac. line off the "little black box" and just running the line straight to the wastegate? Try to eliminate that at least.

are there any other wires or anything on the box?

could this greddy box be a vaccum distribution block??? I could be way wrong but hey its a guess.

i dont have a digital camera but im pretty sure it is a boost controler bc it has wires going from the back of it leading through my firewall but it seems that the idiot took the electronic controler from the inside...

Have you taken the line off the boost controller yet? Just bypass the controller and see what happens.
