My car has been acting weird lately. The car is stuttering anytime I go into boost. It was doing it before when I had older spark plugs (6's) and so I upgraded to BPR7ES (gapped at .028) over the weekend and it was like the car was a whole different car. The CEL went away and it would hold boost fine with no stuttering until redline or whenever I let off, it even idled better and I was so happy. Now it started the same crap again last night. It doesn't matter what psi, as soon as I get into boost it stutters. I'm only running 13-14 psi on the stock BCS solenoid, T-2 small, hard LICP "S" Pipe, stock 2G BOV and UICP, 3 inch Apexi turboback, MSD Wires and Ebay intake. What could be causing this? Did I foul my plugs already? Also I checked all the hose connections and did a boost leak test and everything was fine. I also smell fumes from the car like I'm running lean or something.
