so this has recently started happening to my car. at WOT at higher RPM my car starts to jerk and makes consecutive backfire type noise and lags a lot as it builds up boost.


It sounds like bah bah bah bah/ pop pop pop pop real quick
So far i have tried
resetting the ECU
checked MAF sensor connection
and it hasnt solved the problem
could it be the spark plug ? I have NGK BPR8ES spark plugs installed
Im also running E85 with a build Buschur motor on stock 9 turbo
Nothing on the car was changed before this started happening.

I would replace the plus and go from there. Especially with you having an evo 8 versus 9 the plugs should cost very little to replace.
It sounds like it's a misfire at high RPM under boost. My car had similar problems and I replaced the plugs, EVO 9 (IKH24) and the misfire went away. Now I have to replace them about every 6 months because the misfire will return after a while.

ok, just a shot...my car was doing the same thing at WOT, I checked plugs, etc...connections, etc...well d@mn I just saw a hose dangling from my F1 intake. WTF! Couldnt see it from the top and apparently just came all the way down to were I finally saw it from the bottom of the car! So I had a 1/4" air leak!!!!! Maybe your bov is leaking at WOT or maybe there is a hole in a silicone hose, or an air leak from a tube connection. Something else to check
Check ur plugs like everyone else stated...i run the same ngk plugs in my car with full bolt ons and a tune. runs realllllllly rich and it started popping and sputtering at WOT..changed the plugs (which were black as night) and it went back to running like a raped ape!
Judging by the pictures you have of this car it seems pretty messed up, I think you should have someone who knows what they are doing look at it.
