Hey guys listen...i jus got done with a full rebuild all performance....fully built head and every other possible bolt on mod besides maybe a couple little things...im not listing my mods cause it take to long (not trying to be cocky) but when i start to go under boost in first, second and third gear it starts to like bog out and it sounds like the turbo won't go... it spools and gets like 7 lbs of boost (w/g boost) but it starts getting really crappy under boost...any ideas..my father said he thinks its to much cam and i need bigger injectors....also could it jus be im soooooo untuned it jus needs to be really really tuned ?? any ideas please let me know.... :dsm:
 
Did you check for boost leaks? Those would cause you to run rich, i.e. like crap under boost. Also it would sound different than it normally does especially if it's a big one like a loose interooler pipe clamp.
