88 thunderbird ECM, and ranger runs sluggish. Get codes 22 and 54 KOEO and then 22 34 54 KOER. Replaced BP, TFI and it doesn't want to build boost but when it does it builds fast. I have the BIG VAm. Im lost
 
Well code 22 is the baro sensor, did you add one to your system? 54 is intake temp which I think is in the VAM but I don't remember

If all that's there I would verify you have those particular wires in the right spot
 
Hey uh... while we're figuring this out... where can we get some photos of this truck?

Scott you was right. Got the wiring redone. But it still is sluggish. 1 thing I have to replace clutch. I can't seem to get timing right. It doesn't want to run at 10. It likes it between 1-5.
 
When I use the old scanner with KOER before trying to reset timing it would die after WOT
 
New codes. KOEO. 54, 81, 82, 83, 84 I blocked egr so it doesn't have one. So 54 ACT out of range high, 81 air management cicuit 2 failure.
KOER
24 ACT out of range
41 HUGO lean
74 didnt recognized brake switch
77 didnt recognize WOT
The WOT I floored it and let off when 10 showed up on code reader so really don't k ow how to do it
 
Bruh I want your truck.
 
The hot ticket for clutch is the Centerforce stock replacement friction disc and their weighted pressure plate, I'm a fan... if you do a search for me and centerforce you'll likely find the part numbers, it's about $300 for those parts from Summit...

I don't know how sluggish you're talking but that's a lot of compressed air volume so you'll have some turbo lag, mine has some lag and I don't even have an intercooler... before boost it's just a N/A 8:1 compression 4 cylinder so not spunky...
