I am having a problem with the turbo system, and don't have much experience. During light acceleration, the car feels like the engine is cutting out. At first I thought it was a transmission problem. I watched closer today, and the tach will read a constant rpm, but my boost gage (aftermarket) will drop from a couple psi to zero. It seems something is leaking somewhere, but I don't know where to start. It doesn't seem related to a certain boost number, and it doesn't always happen. Some days it is fine, others I can watch the boost fluctuating from say 5 psi to zero. Seems worse on colder days, but happens warm sometimes also. I had a Turbo XS boost controller. I think this was part of the problem because even with the controller fully closed, it would hit 20 psi boost. So I pulled it out, and it is better, but the problem is still there. I would appreciate any suggestions on what to look for.
Thanks, Jerry
