Is the boost dropping? What exactly is your fuel setup?

Doesn't the GReddy kit use an FMU with the bluebox? And you're sure it's not dropping boost when you feel the power loss?

If not, I'm guessing it could be the bluebox. People have all kinds of problems with that piece of garbage.

Fuel is everything in turbo cars, Im assuming its fuel related, but i had a similar problem recently. It was spooling slow and power dropped off up top, and it was hesitating sometimes on start. So i 1) found a small exhaust leak= spool & top end2) i had my type S bov too soft(leaking a little boost)= up top, Changed spark plugs, car runs smoother through complete power band and startup

I think your problem is fuel related, but check all the small, free things first and then go from there. The more things you eliminate the faster you will find yoiur problem.
