engine problems
well tonight i took my s4 t2 out for a drive and i boosted it a couple times and it was running great...then i noticed the tach went out on me... and the next time i boosted it as soon as it spooled up the engine boged down and i heard a really rapid backfiring sound coming from the exhaust...so i left off the gas and it seems to cruise fine but as soon as you get on it it makes that backfiring sound and it looses all power....any help would be greatly appreciated.. i hope i described the problem well enough to get some answers....
