ive searched through other threads after testing out this 2g i might buy...and talked to a few friends with dsms, but they werent with me when i drove the car...i think it might be like the knocking a lot of people are describing on the forums but anyways...

i know that the stock boost gauges cant be trusted, which is what this car only has so far, and it will accelerate just fine, it seems, until i actually give it some gas, and it will boost okay until around 4k rpm, plus or minus. i read the stock boost gauge and it says its boosting about normal, but the car stutters, seems to be cutting out when too much gas is received. feels like misfiring, or knocking is what others have been saying...any related things that could be wrong? and possible ways to fix it? it will do this most of the time, every once in a while though it will boost okay, then it starts back up right away...any help would be good
