power problem

[GORBS88]

Ok, i will explain it as best as i can....when you step on it the boost goes to where it should and then the exhaust gets really loud and the car has no power....the clutch is not slipping it is like i am towing a trailer....then i shift and the next gear pulls hard...it has always done it but since i got 2.5 dp and 3ich back it has gotten worse.....only does it once in awhile.....anyone have this problem......boost is good and all, it feels like timing is bein pulled or is fuel cut.....like the car is pullin lots of weight.....and somtimes it even with pop out the exhaust....i am running 16 psi on a 92 tsi awd.....full exhaust and intake...am i gettin fuel cut????? i havent removed honeycomb yet....will this help....it always did it but got alot worse with the new exhaust....pls pls help....tnx

Borrow a datalogger and watch your knock count go thru the roof. Probably a case of phantom knock. Try the MCCC treatment.

Ok so if i am gettin knock then why would it of got worse with new exhaust.???? is that possible???? cause i am not sure.... do you think that 16psi is to much??? i havent re-wired the pump yet....And as for the datalogger.. there is knowonw around here that is serious enough to get one....all they are around here are ricers..... Ummm is there anything else i can check?????? like i said the car has always done it but has recently got worse....you think if the timming is bein pulled that it would make it pop out the exhaust??? i thought that would be more from fuel cut......any other advise right now??? i cant get my hands on a logger for awhile...i know that is the best way, but cant do it for a bit......should i turn boost down and try it...????? anyone else pls help....
