bluedragon Member 77 Member For: 14y 2m 20d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 02/06/11 03:58 PM Share Posted 02/06/11 03:58 PM I have a BA XR6T with a tune and cold air intake (235 rwkw) . When I nail it and the turbo kicks in , sometimes I hear what I can only describe as a turbo "flutter" , and it is always accompanied by a loss in power , it just levels out and stops accelerating. The weird thing about it is it might not happen for 2 weeks , but when I notice it on a particular day it is like that all day . My spark plugs were changed a few months ago with the tune. Any ideas anyone ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe coils you reackon ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
