During WOT it feels like I hit a wall. It also makes a loud thud in the process. It scared the hell out of me! This has happened a few times, but only happens during WOT. It drives perfect if im not flooring it. Does this sound like fuel cut, or plug issues?

Recently bought the car and have not replaced much yet. Did my basic maintenance, and was not able to find any boost leaks. Main stuff is FMIC, Boost controller, on a stock turbo. running 12-13lbs.

Any help would be awesome, thanks!
 
The wall is most likely fuel cut, and the thud is whatever is getting torn up when you hit it. :)

Sounds like you are on the right track, but read, read, and read some more. And keep your foot out of it or turn the boost down until you get the mods balanced out and able to support what you are asking of the car. ;)

I ordered new oem injectors the other day, and I am hoping the issue will get cleared up. I am very new to turbo cars in general, and I scan, scan, scan these forums looking for any useful information.
