ok, it just started last night while i was driving. when i press the gas, it still drives pretty hard and once or twice it starts to stutter, and kinda looses a lil power, and if i release and gas it again it doesnt do it. but everytime i go WOT in every gear, it does it. it spudders really bad and just looses a little power. any idea?
 
Sounds like it could be the infamous phantom knock. I just cured mine. What it would do was i would give it some gas and my boost would go to where it was set but i wasnt going anywhere, actually loosing speed. But if i reved it a lil then it would be perfectly fine. There are many fixes but try a oil change with diff. oil maybe? Also i would suggest some MCC(Mopar Combustion Cleaner). That stuff works great! Hope that helped a little bit.
Good luck
 
check your spark plugs, also check to see if there is a boost leak...that is what my problem was, my lower ic pipe was leaking at the turbo
