Boost Issues On A S14

[Fabs_32]

Hey all, I know it's not for a skyline but same-diff.

Surely this could happen on a skyline, anyway.....

My mate has an s14, sr20 blacktop and was sitting at a set of lights yesterday then boosted it a little bit (he doesn't drive it very hard) and then when he pulled up at the next set of lights it just about stalled on him twice and was idoling irregular (up and down). Now it doesn't boost and when changing gears at about 2700rpm it backfires.

But then every now and then it idles ok.

What the?????

check plugs, coils, actuator lines, and inlet/return pipes for the bov.

edit, may aswell go ahead and check all the pipe joins after the turbo, just get a spray bottle full of water and go along the piping.
