Boost leak. Possible problem

[phillabaum03]

Ive been having problems since i got my 6 bolt in. When i boost it studders really bad. Almost like its hitting fuel cut. I did a boost leak and found a leak between the throttle body and the intake manifold. Would that cause the studdering. I can slowly accelerate and keep the boost guage at 0 and run all the way up to 7000rpm with out no problem but if it starts to build boost it studders. thanks

What kind of spark plugs are in the car?

Since you did the 6 bolt sway Im assuming you know alot. How bad was the leak?

Anyleak will hurt you, period. I would get that gasket replaced as soon as possible. Then if that doesnt solve the problem we can think of more options, but yes a boost leak can cause you problem.

Also, I suggest the good old- Do you have NGK Bpr7es's gapped to .028 in you motor?

7's are not nessecary on a stock car. They will foul sooner. I suggest BPR6ES plugs at the same gap.

Try .028".

Im not sure what exactly the plugs are. I know they are NGK V-Power and they are gapped at .028.

Try .028".

Everytime, That was just a typo anyways. as for the 7's I though he would have atleast had the boost turned up a bit. I'll check the profile next time.
