Unhappy

Hi guys can any of you help please ........

When driving normally my car is fine, when boosting up to 0.5-0.6 bar the car pulls fine, but once above that the car stuters like a biatch... it's like a miss fire, only not!

Any ideas ? ? ?

What type / age etc..... More details please !
Sounds as if the MAF might be on its way out, but only a guess !

Crack in the pipework around the intercooler which only opens/leaks above a certain boost level? If you have the original hoses, I'd check this first as it's pretty easy & the original stuff is rather brittle!

Have mentioned this to you in person, but to clarify.....

> Loose/split/generaly knackered hoses

> Check plug gaps/replace plugs

> **** in the fuel lines, try running through some injector cleaner

> Coilpacks

> MAF poleaxed

> Fuel pump - but I would expect the problem to be more regular than just on boost if this were the case.

> Knackered turbo

Hope its something easy mate
