ok, here my prob and i cant figure out whats worng..... for normal everyday driving, the car is fine. when i hit the acceleration pedal half way, its fine (this is roughly 10 psi). but i floor the accelation pedal (gets to about 15 psi), something weird starts happening.... it wont accelerat any more. it picks up and then it lets go, like somehting is slipping in there. its so annoying im soo pissed, i hope its not crankwalk!
 
I have the same issue as the rest of you guys... Mine happens when I ease on the throttle... the turbos starts screaming and the car is going no where... my aftermarket boost gauge starts displaying the overboost warning and everything...

When I get off the throttles and get back on normal the car spools and pulls like it should...
I read somewhere that it could be the wastegate getting stuck... I don;t know... but I am cluess... One more reason to back this beast until next summer!!!! OMG
 
I pulled my ecu to see if it smelled like fish and sure enough it does heres some pics

I think the cap leaked in this pic but you cant really tell if it leaked just a small amount would that have damaged all of the ecu and is causing all the problems im haveing?

did you do a clutch adjustment after you put the new clutch in? i believe your problem lies right there. the 2G's are very sensitive as to where the clutch is adjusted. i had the same problem as you describe, adjusted the clutch and my car is fine.
