Basically it's not boosting right when you put your foot down she's spluttering the power just ain't there :sad: my mate has been looking at it all day yesterday and can't find the problem any1 have any ideas?! Thanks :smiley:

Check the basics
MAF (gets dirty if using anything other than a dry filter)
Plugs - in decent condition?
Coil packs - you know one is shot when it sounds like a retarded Subaru :grin: (best description ever whoever came up with it) you can also check them one by one by doing this:-
Start the engine, remove the wiring harness via the little clip on each one, if the engine note drops its fine if not its buggered
