Ive looked around. Can not find a answer.
First thing: Some of my mods
T28 turbo (18 psi)
1000 cc injectors
255 fuel pump
new spark plugs/wires
Brand new light weight fly wheel and new competition clutch (5k on both, after engine built)
clutch adjustment is good and new fluid.
Car did have a tune but i did raise the compression ratio to 9:1 (still need to retune)

Well heres my problem, i can boost to 18 psi and no problem (not wot)
but at times when i go WOT, my car looses power. RPMs will stay where its at (doesnt raise or go down) and ill stay at my current speed. i just wont produce any power.

at first i thought my clutch was slipping. but wouldnt that produce a smell?

any ideas? i did read that "knock" will make this happen. So if my engine knocks, will it cut power to prevent damage?
