today i decided to drive it a little hard to see how the car is running with the engine rebuild and replacement of the turbo (its been 1000+ miles). 1st to 2nd gear at 6500rpm is good full boost and power. when i go from 2nd to 3rd at almost redline i lose power. it reads that i have boost 12-14psi but its going nowhere.
it drives perfectly fine when i do a 3rd gear pull. the sudden power loss only happens when i go from 2nd to 3rd at almost redline. I am waiting for the car to cool down and im gonna reconnect and tighten the lower intercooler pipe and the uicp that is connected to the intercooler and the intake.
also when i get the sudden loss of power the car make this funny sound like a very low whining sound. cant really explain how it sound like.
