Would either of you guys (or both) be available at the begining of next week during the daytime by any chance?

The best way to describe it is a popping sound at higher boost levels.

Also one other thing, about your problem... check your spark plugs and their gap. Sounds like a common "miss" under higher boost. .30 to .35 is usually good with a degree colder plugs..

Re: VA turbo people, need in person help!!!! (HybridKOOP)
 

Thats what I thought it was at first also. Put in a fresh set two ranges colder and it seemed a little better for a while. Most likely I was imagining it.

Re: VA turbo people, need in person help!!!! (blackteg)
 

yeah, i can swing through there on my way home.

Re: VA turbo people, need in person help!!!! (sgT)
 

is it stuttering at high rpm? like poping? mine did it and i gapped the plug to .030 and turn the fuel down and now its gone. hope that helps

Re: VA turbo people, need in person help!!!! (blackteg)
 

Two heat ranges colder sounds a little much, how much boost are you running? You're running a heat range 8 plug then? Does it miss at all at lower rpms/partial throttle? A few more details on the setup would be helpful.. Maybe you're running a little too rich? Plugs gapped too tight?

What would be the best way to get a hold of you sgT and set something up?

turbod16y8, yea that kinda sounds like what it is doing.

SlowTeg, if I remember correctly I am running a plug in the 7 heat range. Stock for my motor is the 5 heat range. I can run 7 psi with no problems. It starts to happen when I run 8 psi or more. I am running the stock gap on the plugs. Here is my setup:

B18A motor
YS1 GSR tranny
Quaife LSD
Stock clutch w/5,000 miles
450 cc DSM injectors
Zdyne Gold SECU
3 BAR map sensor
MSD 6a Ignition
MSD Blaster 3 coil
MSD wires
MSD cap
NGK BCPR7E spark plugs
TIAL 35mm Wastegate
Greddy BOV
T3/T04E
Drag gen II mainifold
3" carsound cat (hollowed out not by choice)
3" Thermal Exhaust

I think thats everything that could possibly related to my cars issues. As for how much boost, I am trying to run any where from 12-15 psi consistently.
