Ready to race!
Hey guys,
I posted about this before and blamed it on the software (Revo) in the title... thought i'd make a new post since it may not be software related, and post a video of the problem.
It seems to only happen when its less than 45F outside and only when I got WOT before 3k-ish rpms. If I ease into the throttle and go WOT at around 4kish it wont happen.
Listen for the "pops" at around the 5k rpm point (lost traction for a second then the pops started):

I replaced the hose the runs from the PCV to the air intake tube as I thought it might be popping off under boost but it is not.
I dont think it is the PCV itself because when I take the oil dipstick out when the engine is running I do hear the idle change and no loud squeeling occurings. I also took the oil cap off when the engine was running and it sounded like it was going to stall out and I did feel a suction.
I have red top coil packs and they are new (same with the plugs)
I checked and tightened all connections on my air intake from the cone to the turbo. Also cleaned the MAF sensor
checked and tightened turbo outlet pipe and connections (turbo side and intercooler side)
checked and tightened throttle pipe on intercooler and throttle body side.
Checked and tighted the other hose coming from the PCV (my AWE boost tap hose).
Is there anywhere else that I should check for boost leaks?
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
