when I give it a hard boot off the lights and hit boost it feels like tc is kicking in, the next chance I had to give it abit of a squirt I took tc off and it done the same thing, like it couldnt get enought fuel or air or the computer was cutting it off some how. its a stock ba t only thing ive done is a pod filter

any thoughts

EDIT: I can still get into boost without this happening if im not planting my foot

sounds like torque control settings cutting in to save doing damage to the driveline is it a 4spd auto? could be over boosting some where that normally doesn't happen with just a pod filter but worth checking

other than that maybe dud coil pack or plugs

it's not just wheel spin is it?

5 speed manaul and na not wheel spin I think your right with coil pack

Sounds exactly like my old issue.

Do the plugs and coils.

I think your right also, I just had a few things fix on my car and they said a coil pack needed changing, they had a second hand one that they said was fine and put it in for free.

ill call tomorrow and see what he says

thanks for the help and so quickly:)

it was the coils, I should have gotten them off ebay I payed 65 each but only changed 2 of them. my car has 90,000km aswell. cars running great now getting a custom tune tomorrow.

one other question I had platinum plugs put in and the person tuning it said there a waste of money and he wants to put cheap ones in to tune it
