im having a wierd problem. my 97 gst all of a sudden starts bucking and bogging when i floor it after 5 lbs of boost. it holds 5 lbs just fine. anything above that and its starts bogging out. if i dont let the turbo spool the car runs fine. anything above 5 psi and it runs like ass till i go below 5 psi. any ideas???
 
Start off with simple stuff first? like plugs/wires or boost leak?
I had like the same problem, just had to get new plugs. Would only buck under boost, because that was putting a load on the engine. Try those simple cheap things first :thumb:
Check for boost leaks, check IC pipes etc...
 
if it only does it under wot, then it is probly something with your emissions, might have bad sylinoid and egr valve isnt opening right, if its that i would just rip off the emisions and block off the egr and it will run better, thats if its only happening wot
