losing power

[Black95TSIawd]

when its pretty warm out, if i give it some gas, not full WOT like lets say 40%throttle, the rpms seem to drop and it feels like the car is losing lots of power. If i stay on the throttle, the motor seems to buck, like a pop sound will come out of the exhaust. Please help me.

is it a pop as in back fire, if so look at ur vaccum readings at idle, it should be steady and like at 17 or more, if its fluctuating, u hav vavle problems

Also make sure your not dumping your BOV to the atmosphere. At least not without supporting mods. Good luck.

I guess check for boost leaks and make sure your spark plugs and spark plug wires are in good condition. Sorry I don't have any first hand experience with this kind of problem.

my alternator just took a puke so i wonder if that had anything to do with it.
