check your map sensor make sure she is plugged in. If it happend after you hitting 8k it could be bad man. What mods do you have? ECU? Boost?

Last time my 13b sounded like a V8 it had a cracked corner seal. It sure did sound good though.

Compression test will tell you what you've done.

If that's good, then there's a vacuum line off somewhere
