In Beirut you guys have some good evo shops.
Also, you should consider checking the gap on your plugs. And which plugs did you install? oem?

Are you positive it is boost cut, or is it heavy hesitation/misfire?

Pull the spark plugs and inspect them, see if they've got any oil residue on them. Put the new ones in, gap them to 0.55mm. Next time use ngk br7es gapped to 0.55mm and you should be fine with power and boost you are running.


There are those times that one should rely on shear experience and knowledge instead of obd2. You do not always get misfire codes with evoscan.
