ultra spark or something. The most expensive wires from napa. They only have about 100 miles on them as do the spark plugs and the dis. cap.

sparkplugs? wires? sparkplug gap?
 
too much boost for the amount of fuel will cuase knock, witch will make the box retard time and can sound like a miss under boost...

at last years MACG grants car had what sounded like a miss under boost, wich ended up being too much boost...i turned the boost down a bit and the car ran great...12psi is all you need...
get it to run great at 12psi, then you can turn it up and play your way back to 16 or so..

think about it... all it is, is air/fuel, timing, and spark.

is the timing spot on? 12* BTDC  if it is, move on...
is the spark spot on?  NGK or DENSO plugs gaped at about .020 with a good set of plug wires and a good rotor button and cap?     if it is, move on...
are all the injectors good??
is everything plugged up properly???

calculatous eliminatous my friend...

getting a wideband and learning how to read air/fuel would help you greatly with stuff like this...
bosch is garbage. and thats prolly your problem... NGK or DENSO gapped a bit lower 020-030 .... sounds like your wires are fine...
try plugs... your boost sounds to be fine
a rocketchip will be needed soon.. no boost controller until you get a chip would be best...
said you have a t bird turbo??? do you have injectors or a fuel pump in it yet???

you need the following to gain the benefits of your t bird swap....

1) a rocketchipped ECU

2)a walbro 255lph low pressure fuel pump...

3)a set of t-bird 390cc or dsm 450cc injectors

4)a manual boost controller

5)a boost guage

6) a wideband AFR guage and o2 sensor

7) tighten the spring in your VAM 6-8 clicks


with the above mentioned done, you will be safe to run 17or 18psi and be safe on the wideband o2....from 8-18psi is approx.50-65hp jump... hold on tight....
