1989 Ford Mustang 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

Ok, here is the problem. I bought the car and it had a 2.3 turbo motor swapped into it. Well when everu get on the pedal it will boost to 5psi and then start sputtering and u here the boost exiting out of the exhaust and u have no power at all after 3-4000rpms. We chk'd the timing replaced the plugs wires. Ive read that these cars should be running 15psi easy all day long and still get decent gas milage I get crappy milage and it feels liek my car has maybe 50hp

Check your converter(s), they may be broken up inside, and pieces lodged downstream, in the exhaust. Try removing an 02 sensor upstream from the cat, see if it runs any better, this of course is just to test for too much back pressure!
