i went to the track and i was boosting 1.2 bars. i was racing with the throttle all the way open and it choked in every gear. it feels like a kick. it does it once or twice in each gear. now i turn the boost controller to .8 bars and it still does it when i open the throttle all the way.

i think i have a vacuum leak that may be causing the problem. when i bost it sound like supercharge. its a loud whistle it doesnt sound like a turbo. it also causing a idle surge. its going like 600-1300rpm. i test all the lines and it doesnt do anything to the idle surge. i pretty sure its not the TPS, ISC, or the BISS. i have no idea where the whistle coming from i only can hear it when i boost. so i cant look under the hood to find out where the sound coming from
 
sounds like an ignition problem check your spark plugs make sure the gap is correct .28, also check the wires make sure they have a good connection at the coil
