89 t2 fuel issue

test the car for boost/vacuum leaks. sounds like you got a chinese cheapo BOV that is leaking. the worst part is your OEM BOV probably wasn't even the problem and you will still have the lean issue after you fix the BOV issue you created.

lean issues are usually related to fuel system problems, such as poor engine harness grounding or failing fuel pump/dirty filter. in other cases a bad TPS can cause fuel to cut from the rear rotor(decel fuel cut).

It doesn't have a made in china bov. The engine popped the other day and I'm suspecting boost creep with the stock turbo. It'll be rebuilt soon and I'm porting the wastegate. There will be measures taken to keep it from blowing again.

After trying to figure this issue out, I think it was a victim of the stock unported wastegate.

Sure twasnt.

The stock WG does not cause engine failure.
