Errr This Road Is Cursed!!!!!

So there is one road I drive and the last few times I've driven it, something have broke on my car... and today.... after just getting my radiator installed, (3 days ago, and over 100 miles city on it already) I decide to take my friend for a spin, NOT even pushing it that hard... and I drive the road go drop him off and think to myself "hmm the temp didn't even move.... cool.." then driving away from my friends car at about 2200 RPM the car started to hesitate a little but put in a little more gas it goes away... drop to idle it's fine.. pegs....

then getting about home...... let off the gas and it's back firing... and the check engine light it on..... DARNIT!!!!!!! well have to check it out tomorrow.

Wait, your telling me that your car all of a sudden hesitated, revs dropped upexpectedly, then pegged, and the check engine light came on then you still tried to boost on the motor? Smart

mo I didn't try to boost... I realized I said that that way after I posted it. with the vacuum being so high just a light tap on the pedal would show the car boosting, and going up a hill it would show more boost but only to like 3-4 and it would stop... nothing after that. I could hear the turbo spooling but I didn't feel any boost nor did it sound like it was spooling high enough to be boosting... But then agian I'm not sure what to make of what the gauge is reading


Update: the next day I started the car up and drove it around and it ran fine... ran fine the entire day with no problems... and then yesterday driving home from work it started doing it agian.....
