You're not done boost leak testing until you can fill it with air, and have it hold that air pressure. Not when you can't hear it leaking out anymore.

Re: am kinda new n need some help am getting"" fuel cut"
ok so i had ppl telling. me it can b the turbo because all my intercooler piping has oil also because am throwing oil from the exhaust... and the smoke comes out as soon as the car starts boosting n thats when the problems starts.. i have a big 16g turbo am just going to throw it n see if that makes a diff..i hope that is the prob because i went almost through everything n the problem doesnt go away....

Re: am kinda new n need some help am getting"" fuel cut"
Your giant boost leak killed your turbo. Change ur turbo and do A DAMN BOOST LEAK TEST before you start the car. Have a friend stare at your boost gauge. If it doesn't hold boost u have a leak even if you can't hear it. It could be that big of a leak that you can't hear it. U know ur not leaking when ur afraid ur tester is gonna blow off.

Or in my case fuck up your hand if it is in the way.

Re: am kinda new n need some help am getting"" fuel cut"
did you put the plastic upper i/c pipe? if so then it might of poped out, i remember a guy at RRE with the exact same problem, thinking his cat was clogged he got a catback system in and didnt made any difference, turns out his plastic i/c pipe was poping out everytime he would boost. LMAO totally not my tale.

Re: am kinda new n need some help am getting"" fuel cut"
You should be able to pressurize your system up to at least 20psi and it should very slowly leak down. If it won't hold pressure then you have a leak somewhere. You last turbo probably overspun itself to death trying to build boost through that leak.
Get someone to help you hunt down leaks and use a spray bottle of soapy water, check where your intake manifold bolts to the head, check your fuel injectors, check your throttle body gaskets, check the throttle body shaft, check all pipe couplings, check the blow off valve....
Basically check everything.
