Ok, last night it was really bad. If i gave it a lil' gas you know the turbo will spoil up a lil' and car movies with ease. Well, yesterday i was only giving it a lil' gas and my turbo was spoil'n like normal but the car wasnt moving it was jerking and wanting to bog down. I really thought the car was gunna break down on me. But this morning it was fine and had no problems. But every once in a while if i floor it, the turbo will kick in and stutter to where it pulls for a sec bogs for a half a secound then pulls with ease. If someone knows why the hell my car is doing this it would be great. After driving the car boging like that i checked my oil and it was to the low mark. The manafold was glowing red. Looked really cool but is it a good thing? I was thinking maybe a tune up cuz i havent had that in a while too. any ideas?
 
check for boost leaks. An ic pipe that isnt secure and is falling off could be causing those problems. If no leaks are found, replace plugs, wires, and maybe the coil pack.
