Anyone have a problem where you at a dead stop and start going but the only thing that is in creasing is boost, that all of a sudden bam fills like the engine caught on. it does this to my car but very rarely not sure whats cuasing it.
Just wondering if anyone know this prob thanks.
 
What the hell did you just post? I can't really make hide nor hair of it but here's my best guess. Your car feels sluggish when starting from a stop then just feels like it catches up and starts to act normal? If so I bet it's when the car is still warming up, mine does this too right before the temp needle moves to it's normal position. My car will register 21+ counts of knock and pull timing hardcore in 1st and 2nd gear between 2500-3200. After the needle gets to where it's supposed to be I never see the knock guage (DSMchip) even quiver.
 
Sorry man was just hard to put into words at the time, i bet it is that problem was just wanting to know if it is common. Yeah it built like 12 Psi and then it took off like a rocket ( better discribes it)
 
1 So your sitting at a redlight.
2 Once you letoff the clutch and onto the gas to where the cars supposed to be moving.
3 It dosen't move but you build boost up and the car is moving slowly by now.
4 All of a sudden it "grabs" and then you start going quickly because you already built up boost and rpm's.
5 So you start going like normal.


Sounds like the clutch isn't grabbing.
