    Vehicle dies at 3k rpm.

    Ok guys ive searched and found nothing..

    i have a 03 audi a4 1.8tq 5spd. has a k04, FMIC, 330cc injectors, miltech down piipe, revo stage 2 tune, magnaflow 3" exhaust, and a high flow cat..
    couple weeks ago car was being driven after sitting for almost a year. (Test drive) it was boosted several times and felt normal guage red normal. then it boosted an hit 30psi
    after that no boost.. weird honing sound as if wind was being blown through at 3" pipe with no presure build up.. i thought immediately blown turb..

    Bought a new turbo and installed it.. put everything back exactly as it was takin off. (i hope and think so) started the car and cranked up just fine. (minus the dead battery) had a jump box being used.
    after making sure i had oil to the turbo i cranked it up again and tried to rev to see if i got boost. acted just like i would take off at a light. hits 3k rpm and dies.. crank up does it again.
    i try to reset the throttle body by doing the key on the on position full throttle for a few minutes then letting go turn off then back on.. the throttle body was making some weird almost static noises. but stopped.
    cranked up again and tried slow rev.. at a very slow ease rev it will go up. but as soon as some forcce is laid on the pedal it dies at 3k.

    whats weird is my vaucm only hits -9. i am getting a "blow off" sounds as if its creating pressure. have a slight whistle when it shuts off from the turbo..

    why cant i get above 3k. did i switch up a vacum line .. is there something else wrong? anything im missing here .. please anyone

    This is how the car came and ran just fine for a year. They are the audi tt injectors.

    then you have the right ones.you should also check vacuum lines / anything that links with the turbo.
    regarding the blow off sound that u are talking about,i had the same issue and it was because my FMIC pipe was going out every time i WOT ...
    BTW what the car does if you just leave it on idle ? can the car stay on idle for at least 5min ?

    Car idles just fine. Had it idle for 20 minutes last night while I tried to check for leaks. Just tightened all couplings as much as I could . Lost the check engine light but not the wot kill.. I tried moving the intake pipe to see if syphon was loose and gained the engine light again. .. what you mean your Fmic pipe was going out?

    thats strange..cannot figure it out
    When i WOT my pipe was going out of the coupler even if my clamp was tight but now its okay i added one more clamp to hold it good..
    but i think u car is stalling at 3k rpm its bcuz u are missing gasoline or air or something more fukd up ... on our car u can have alot of possibilities like the n75 ...
