Here's my problem...(turbo related i think)

Mods are desribed in sig. below..Symptom:
Let the car and turbos warm to safe operating temps..
1st gear WOT..feels and sounds good
2nd gearWOT..from 5000 to 7000 boost slightlly fades from 10 to 8psi with a slight rattling like maybe bearings failing.

All other gears same result.
Other related symptoms: slight oil ponding on rear turbo housing.
Ported turbos do have 65000 miles

I cannot find any air leaks(boost or exhaust).
Also there is no smoke @ WOT from exhaust.

What is your analysisThanks for helping..Garret
Oh yea Profec B set @10psi....

seems just about normal man. its suppose to drop a bit. idk about the rattling though, it could be something else though (other then your turbos).

It sounds like a bit like breaking up.. I am going to install some ground wires to start w/. I put a stereo in, but does it w/ system turned off also. Got tore up by hurricane so it is going to be a few days until I can fool w/ it.. It is definitaely not as strong as when I first got it together(about 2000 miles ago). Motor still running good though.. When I'm @WOT it reacts fine and then above 5000 it seems to crackle out the exhaust. Definately different from what I have experienced normally.
