Just wondering what fuel cut is like. once im fully boosted, my car feels almost like it is missing slightly every 1/2 to 1 second, its so slight its almost not even noticeable. I dont think it could be fuel cut tho, because i only have a intake, and shimmed wastegate, 4 washers. My car also feels kind of sluggish in full boost as well, so could it be plugs and/or boost leak?

any help is greatly appreciated.

does it sound like a boost leak, or air leak somewhere, or maybe a bad spark plug? Cause i just got done doing a HG and someone said your plugs usually get fried as well. Also i put on a monza bov and it makes my turbo REALLY loud, so it might be leaking from there i think?

any ideas?

i figured it out, the hose that connects to my hks BOV somehow got a hole in it, and one of my other boost lines that connect to my intake manifold (black rubber ones) was hard as hell and cracked. Changed the both hoses and it runs a lot stronger, and doesnt make as loud of spooling noise now lol.
