boost problem ?
« on: 13 September 2015, 16:06 »
Hi , not been on here much.
Last night i booted the car up the mad mile. It pulls strong then pop pop, and sort of holds back. It did it in second and third gear on full throttle. Any ideas.
 I thought i my have hit the rev limiter as i was not looking at it.   :huh:

MAF or coils, does it pop all the time now or only under boost? Disconnect the MAF first and see if it improves if not reconnect the MAF and check the coils
