Hesitation

[tsitalon03]

When I'm at WOT in the upper rpm range (5 or 6k), the car kinda bogs, hesitates, studders, whatever you wanna call it. What could be the cause of this?

Bad plug wires/plugs, Boost leak, clogged fuel filter, weak fuel pump. I would start off with the boost leak test, then check or replace your plugs and wires.

^^ What they said. It definitely sounds like a boost leak to me. I had the same symptom except 3k+ rpms just from forgetting to tighten the clamps on the turbo's outlet! Talk about a serious boost leak

Tru I'll check for leaks tomorrow. I'll also look at the fuel filter.
