My turbo bogs down at higher RPM, then picks up again
I have heard that I have a poor grounding and need to reground my car. I have just recently upgraded the stock air box to a cone intake. Everything else is essentially stock. Is it possible that I need to buy a boost controller, because the stock part believes that the car is getting too much air so it slows the engine down temporarlily? Or do you believe that I need to simply reground my vehicle?
By the way, this happens on my 88 TII, and it only happens when I am accelerating hard at higher RPMS, anywhere from 3900 to 6500.

a similar thing happend to me in my 300zxtt. It would pull hard then just die. It ended up being a boost leak under the intake manifold. Did you check all your boost lines for cracks/splits?

Ok i will try that, but I think my piping is fine, since I replaced so much of it recently anyway (many of the rubber pipes seemed to have been dried to hell). Any other suggestions?

Did your car suffer from hesitation before you changed the intake? If so then you're probably not hitting fuel cut. A common cause of this problem can be the TPS. You will want to test to see if it meets the properly WOT and no throttle condidions, but also check the sweep of motion (slowly and steadily) to ensure that it occurs smoothly. To do the later you will need a digital multimeter or an oscilloscope.

yes the exhaust has been upgraded, but im not so sure how much because i didnt do it. the previous owner upgraded the exhaust before i got it. No my car did not suffer from hesitation before i changed the intake. would getting a boost controller help, because i would be able to tune the boost down?-of course i really wouldnt like to fix the problem going this route because that would tune my performance down.
