So this is kinda tough to explain the feeling but when I go WOT it feels like something in the drivetrain is skipping. there isn't really any noise to it you just feel it happens more at lower gears and it doesn't happen every single time but like 8 out of 10 times. It seems to be getting worse. I also hear a rattle sometimes under the car when driving it sounds like it could possibly be the driveshaft if it isn't the exhaust. That is the best I can describe my idea is that it could be the rear end.
 
I have checked it on good dry pavement and it will still happen in third gear. (so with the power I'm at right now I couldn't imagin that being the case)

still unsolved I am getting confused with what this could be
 
Update I changed My turbo to a evo3 big 16g over the weekend and since then I havent noticed this skipping feeling. I havent driven it to much yet to be absolutely positive that it doesn't have the problem anymore. I looked at my old turbo today and noticed it is cracked. Would this have been my problem? I will post pics in a little bit.
