Dave, I'll have some pics posted up for you soon.

So, today something weird happened. I was on the highway after about an hour of driving, got on the throttle, Wide open in fifth and when I got to say maybe 90 mph, maybe 4 grand (cough, closed road of course), the car hesitated for a second. I got off the road, checked all my piping, etc, and it was fine. Continued to ride fine for about the next hour, boost read fine, heavy acceleration was fine at lower gears, then the same thing in fifth fifth gear at about same speed. Is my clutch going, fuel cutoff, or boost leak? Never happened before, nothing noticeable in the engine from the looks of it...what am I missing?

Fuel cut probably from a boost leak. You are probably hitting higher load due to the boost leak causing the cut.

Possibly a fuel pump, but if it is going rich that would be odd. Did this happen after the spark plugs were installed? Sounds like a boost leak honestly. You still on original throttle body seals?

stop talking about cars. go to a technical thread if you want to do that. this thread is for making fun of turco, talking about latent homosexual tendencies of everyone here and for talking about guns.

kthnx

Maybe a sticky injector, glad it is fixed, easy fix too.

Only BOVs i would ever use are the stock 9bov (crushed or not) or the synapse.
