Default Turbo stuff

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on in a while...theres been a whole lot goin on lately. Anywho, the turbos been up and running for a while now and its freaking awesome. Ive been havin a couple problems tho. Whenever the engine is warming up, it burns a buttload of oil, but stops burning it when its completely warmed up. I haven't tested the compression yet, so its possible it could be the piston rings. Also, I did a fairly hard pull up to about 90 the other day, and right when i let out of 4th gear the engine stalled. It started back up just fine, but it scared the s*** out of me when the engine cut off at 90mph. Other than that, I havent really found any other problems except that I have a Blitz turbo timer that i cant hook up because they dont sell a harness for civics. I'll get videos up eventually

Its prob cutting out bcuz of lack of fuel, better fuel management will help that.

Is the oil getting cooked in the engine or the turbo?

i would try some kind of fuel manegment unit to get some more fuel into the combustion chamber and i would try and retard your timing a few degrees. Also what kind of oil are you using?

Call up blitz and get a universal harness. Maybe ebay?
