Could be all sorts of things unfortunately, you might wanna

Check your coilpacks for splits/tape them upp

Re-gap your plugs to .8m

replace your fuel filter

Check your fuel flow/pressure to ascertain pump condition

Check Your AFM, (carbie cleaner onto the sensor, run a multimeter, check soldering inside..Borrow1 off sum1 is easiest way to check if its faulty)

Try another/the original BOV

Check intercooler piping

Check for any boost leakes

Hope that helps

check all of the above, as well as the boost controller (if you have 1). i had a problem with a turbosmart boost controller where if you boosted up then changed gears, when you stomped it in the next gear it wasn't boosting up. turned out it was the boost controller not realeasing the air between it and the wastegate, so the wastegate was fully open when you jumped on the gas. i went back to my turbotech and all was good again.

hey mate,

this is just a bit of guess without getting into it too far, but i once had a 33 where the intake pipe from the air filter to the turbo would get hot and suck closed. would only do it every 5/6th run after some good fulkl throttle action.

hope this helps

thanks just a another quick question is seious 1 and 2 coil packs interchangeable??

no. well not really. you can put series 2 into a series 1, provided you do all 6, and get rid of the ignitor. you can put series 1 into a series 2 if you do all 6 and add an ignitor.
