However I still have a problem that feels kinda like coils but im almost certain its not as for 1.. I swaped with a known good set and it was same. And 2 car still revs up to 4-5000rpm easy and smoothly when giveing it some. What issue I have is when giveing it allot like a really hard take off I get to 100kph quick but it feels like ot surges slightly when its up to aboit 90kph and accelwrating..and I look accross and I see 7-8 psi on the boost guage when it does this... its normally 5-6. So does that sound like its boost cutting? Ive also swapped fuel pumps and same issue. I have had overboost problems in past where it has hit 11psi and shut power amd I had to pull over and restart it....But this is a bit different as it still drivea fine after it does it..im thinking actuator has a slight leak? Someone said to me valve springs...but it only stock.. To me it feels like traction controls kicking in but theres no.loght on dash when it does Edited 10/04/19 01:58 PM by jas98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
