Okay guys, this might be hard to explain, but I'll do my best.

This has only happend I think 3 times in the last month, but it's got me worried that I have a problem. I'll be cruising like normal in 4th or 5th gear and then downshift to 3rd to pass a car (or whatever other reason). Only, when I step on the throttle, I get almost no turbo response. the car boosts fine, but it feels like I'm towing a house behind me. WTF Like I said, it's only happened about 3 times ever, but what could be going on here? I was thinking boost leak, but why would it only happen every once in a while? doesn't make much sense to me....... :confused:
