turbowelshy89 Member 147 Member For: 14y 8m 27d Posted 02/12/12 12:05 PM Share Posted 02/12/12 12:05 PM Yea mine started mid drag strip. Just lost power, would run fine coasting and cruising but under full load it was good for a few seconds then just like someone had pulled a boost line but still had full boost. Took me a while to find it to. Did an intank pump and everything only to find it was the filter. But I was running a surge also.

If you zoom in u can see the piston was actually fouling on the crank.
