i'm havin problems diagnosing my problem.. i was wondering if it was boost leak or not because when i drive normal and accelrate slow everything is fine but when i go wot and rpm hit like 3.5k it feels like boost cuts off and then comes back on.. it will kinda sputter and pull at the same time.. u can feel the car kinda jerking..and it also sounds like it's leaking air some where.. i am stock with a 1st gen bov and dejon tool adapter..
 
could be a leak, how much boost are you running on your mbc? -- do you have supporting fuel mods? -- sounds more like fuel cut. Could also be boost leak though, you can make a leak tester www.vfaq.com
 
i'm on stock boost.. no boost controller.. i'm thinking it might be the plugs and wires.. i'll be replacing them later today and see wassup...
 
ah k when you said dejon tool I assumed a MBC, but plugs/wires sound like a good idea, clean up the coil
 
yea.. it runs alot better now with some new plugs and wires... i guess that cured the problems.. the plugs were all beat.. seeems like they never changed the plugs or the wires on it
