well my car is coming together nicely....i have a problem i have my car at 14 psi DD and it runs great driving normal. it sputters a bit right before it hits boost but im barely in boost when driving local (DD)..now when im at WOT and changing gears my car dose not respond with the gas im giving it...... for instance when im jumping onto a high way and i have to push the gas pedal to the wall changing gears it doesn't give gas the car would decelerate...please help thanks
 
You say that it is coming together nicely so it makes me think you had a good deal of the car apart. Check for boost/vaccum leaks. This could indeed hinder response time. Also, do you have new plugs and wires? I would also check those and if more than likely you will find a leak or you need to change the plugs or wires. Good luck. :thumb:
 
the car is a 5 spd..... well i just finish seafoaming the motor change plugs and oil...wires are ok. im gonna get some NGK later this week...pretty much performed a small tune up and still doing the same.....i really dont think a boost leak would do this or a vacum leak.... im double checking evreything on the car making sure evreything is tight....i am gonna perform a boost leak later on today...but if theres anyone that can help now while im under the hood i would appreciate it
