				New turbo and everything sorted except 3 problems.  It cuts out when changing between park and reverse and neutral and drive. Struggles to start cold but then no problem starting till next morning.  And very low power.  Any suggestions

				Welcome along. Sounds like cold start is your plugs. Have your air separator/ splitter it may need cleaning as it clogs with carbon, and have you checked your air filter aswell

				Installed a boost regulator and gauge upped the boost a bit. It does go better but still only 30 up hills on the highway with the motor at 3500rpm

				Injection quantity depends on mass air flow, could be your turbo isn't blowing much or the MAF sensor isn't registering all the air going through?
