Personally I would not be doing any wot pulls with a car that is doing what yours is without at least logging to see if your knocking or running lean.

You either are running out of fuel, you have a boost leak, or your ignition is breaking up. fuel, air, spark.

check your injector harness, plugs and fuel pump. if you have a wideband you might want to take a look at that. only problem is it will average across all four cylinders unless you have a trick setup in each exhaust runner.

check your compression as well. You might have popped a cylinder if the car injected water.


gl with the fix!

This is probably related to your choice of movie. Seriously, though, assuming that there are no boost leaks, you are probably experiencing a bad case of fuel cut, and/or it is BOV related and most likely a result of the installation of that new BOV. VTA BOV's are problematic especially if your car is not tuned for it.

Just install an OEM Metal IX DV as AJCaron12 suggests, and get the car tuned man. Isn't Chris Mellon in your neck of the woods? If not he is just a PM away. Or else, call him at 662-253-8835. In the meantime I would avoid movies and go back to driving the Vette as your DD.

Gas gauge is broken, loaded thcar with fresh 93 octane at a good gas station Ans the problem basically went away, until 6k rpm it starts doing the same thing again. Makes full 15lb's of boost
