Default Help, turbos overboosting

I bought a 2001 a4 in July, it ran for a month then the timing belt skipped some teeth and it was dead. It turned out the previous owner uped the timing and welded the tensioner for the timing belt in place, they also rewired the car so their aftermarket turbo would take it to the max. Now after replacing the head, a couple cylinders, having the car wired correctly, and replacing the cat, the aftermarket turbo keeps overboosting and cutting out. What can i do to make the turbo and engine work together again?

Damn perfect reason why to buy a completely stock car and mod yourself.

Just put on a fuel cut defender and big injectors and it won't be overboosting anymore. Well ok, you won't call it overboosting anymore, you'll call it loads of fun.

heh...dejavoo...(if thats how you spell it??) I had the same problem when I bought my car. The only reason I got it was because I got it for so cheap. I ended up posting some pics of the turbo....guys on here helped me to decide what it was...then I contacted atp to find out what I could do.....turned out nicely....
