I installed the greddy turbo system and very carefully searched the forum for installation(to make sure I did it right) and problems. but I dont' see anyone else with this problem.
car
1992 1.6
greddy turbo and intercooler.
thats it
here is the problem.
the car runs fine idles fin and everything all they way up to 4000rpm.
once I step on the gas (floor it) past 4000rpm the car startes to jerk like riding a wild bull. (yes really that bad, and yes I have ridden a bull before). any ideas what is going on? or a link to where on this forum someone else had this problem?
my thought was not enough fuel, but then again I know nothing about cars.
Please help me.

Make sure the AFPR is hooked up correctly. I think this can happen if you have the lines reversed. This is happening just as you are entering boost right?
When it happens can you see a black cloud of smoke belched from the exhaust? Did you do a check of the stock fuel pump to make sure it was healthy? New fuel filter?

I bet you $5 your fuel lines to the FMU are backwards or wrong.
The line from the back of the fuel rail (firewall) runs into the offset fitting of the FMU. Then the center fitting runs backs to the hardline.
The line to the front of the fuel rail (radiator) should still be connected straight to the other hard line.
