So I usually don't drive too crazy cause LA traffic doesn't really allow it. A few days ago I went WOT because wth I had the open road for it, probably a 40-80 mph quick push. I can't be sure of the type of noise but I heard and felt a definite stutter in power delivery during the full throttle accel. Glanced at the turbo gauge for a second and I think I saw a shimmy in it, but I can't be 100% sure till I do some testing to recreate, also the gauge was peaked so it was kinda hard to tell, mighta been my imagination. I'm thinking boost leak, but I'd like a second opinion so as I test I can be aware of what to look for. I've read some stories about coil packs being a needed upgrade when you push these engines, but I didn't think it felt misfirey. Thoughts?
My setup so far...
Phase 1 EC tune
EC 4.1 intake
NGK DCPR9IEX plugs, less than 2k on them
GFB DV+
Turbo Blanket
Awesome Stickers
Edit: Can someone describe the breakup people speak of at higher rpm, so I can look for that symptom and continue to narrow?
