in first gear at around 6k the car starts to i guess sputter rapidly and loses power. if i keep on it through second it does it but not as bad once i hit 3rd turbo feels like it lags for a second and then hits really hard. im getting full boost. It is very unusual. I only have 17k on the car. i know this sounds unusual so i will try and take a video later. but if any1 has any idea what it could be id appreciate any input.

 

fuel cut? boost leak?, check your bov

 

When you say sputter, do you mean the car is missing? What are your mods?

 

i have bushur tbe, and a cone filter. It honestly sounds like really quick backfires like its not burning all the fuel

 

are u tuned?

 

not yet

 

i thought tune could be an issue but i have had exhaust on for a few weeks now and this just started

 

1) Sputtering = plugs
2) 3rd gear delay = clutch slipping
3) Having a TBE and cone filter with no tune is completely asiIX

 

Really quick sputtering is your plugs. If it feels like you hit a wall then that is fuel cut.

 

plugs

 

i had a feeling it was plugs. i looked around a littlebut not a whole lot should i get stock or are there better aftermarket plugs?

 

Plugs are the least of your worries, dude...

 

im going to schedule an ivey tune also

 

You have a IX so you cant switch to copper plugs, you are stuck with iridium. They are more expensive, but last longer than the coppers.


Your cone filter could be throwing off the MAF signal which is causing you to run lean. Get a tune ASAP.

 

That also is not your main problem. Did you miss my 1-2-3 post above???

Plugs = $40?
Tune = $300-400?
Clutch = $1500
