    Is your mod list still up to date? You sure it's the turbo? I'm gonna assume that you don't have an AP or boost gauge?

    my boost gauge is still on order with the pod.. i have a vibrant cat back exhaust, bits bov, hyper tech tune, short ram intake... those are the engine mods but i don't see how any could cause a problem. i can't go to the dealer cause i don't have warranty and they will charge a shit load to look at it. thats my last option to go to the dealer.. has it happened to anyone before?

    It could be a bunch of different things. Can you upload a video of the issue?

    Not always... could be spark plugs. Have a look at them.

    When was the last time they were changed?

    Did you have this problem before you bought the car? Did the car come with those mods? Did the problem occur after you installed a mod or did something to the car?

    So it was the plugs then. Glad it's all good now.. E3 plugs aren't recommended AFAIK (read it somewhere). Better to stick with OEM or Denso plugs (colder plugs if tuned).

    Did you upgrade your fuel pump? If not, I hope you got your fuel system checked to make sure its suitable for your tune.
