hey for all that have this problem try chsnging spark plugs, i bought some ngk bpr7es and the thing pulls like a bat out of hell, some people up here have/ had this same problem and switch their spark plugs quit frequently, hope it works for you guys as well

Sounds like my boost leak, I jsut bought this car real cheap and thats what it was doing, I changed plugs, checked all the piping and finally made a boost leak detector, and it's my bov that's leaking. But i've been told that bad plugs or wires can cause this same problem so if yours are old I suggest changing them, but if it still happens make that leak detector shouldn't cost you maor then ten bucks. Sorry for the long post but i was happy when I found the leak cause now I know what to fix.:thumb:
