Overboost: Under heavy load (full or nearly full throttle)
the boost gauge goes WAY into the red, then the engine 'cuts out'
very distinctly. By distinctly I mean the car acts as if the
ignition were shut off for about .5 seconds (not misfiring).
If I keep my foot in it, the boost will build rapidly and the
cutout will reoccur. The car runs perfectly until the 'cutout'
point, then resumes running perfectly until the overboost point
is hit again.
In other words: As long as I keep the boost needle from hitting
the far side of the red, she runs like a champ.
I am going to change the plugs today (can't hurt), and check to
see if the wastegate has been played with per: jon
Thanks, and I hope I made myself clearer.
