Turbo= Whistling more and Car is jerking

[98SilverGS-T]

I just recently put in my MBC and NGK BPR7ES plugs and set my boost to 15 lbs. When I go WOT my turbo sounds like it's whistling a lot more (almost like its working too hard) and when i let off in gear my car will jerk (almost like running a stock BOV VENTED). I'm also starting to smell something like exhaust fumes when i go WOT also. The plugs are gapped @ .27...my question is : I was planning on getting a fuel pump this week to hopefully make things better ( i was told to get one a.s.a.p by someone @ RRE) but I need to know why my car is doing what it's doing first. I don't want to add things when I have other problems to deal with first....Any help would be appreciated

well, the plugs are supposed to be gapped at .028. i would gap them to that, then if it doesn't help check your plug wires, if they are pretty hold you should go ahead and change them anyways.

I assume you have not changed your plug wires yet? I suggest you do that. Thats the first two things I suggest to all DSMers when they get their cars is plugs/wires

Hmmm...I really need to know what's causing the jerking and whistle. I don't want one problem to lead to another you know :-\ . I'm assuming the fuel pump is a wise choice for my next mod then.....?

Did you read what either of us posted? Have you changed your plug wires yet?

My bad...no i haven't changed the plug wires.

Change you wires first, see if that fixes the problem and get back to us.

I think it sounds like a boost leak, if your turbo sounds like it is spinning really fast that is most likely what it is.
