Need Turbo Help!
Really need some help getting pointed in the right direction before I start tearing things apart. Anyway, when I go WOT at about 5k rpm the car bogs down like it is hitting a fuel cut. The crazy thing is after I've been driving around for awhile it completely goes away and the car pulls to redline. I've tested the boost when it's running properly and got a 10-8-10. The only thing I can think of is that an actuator is sticking and when it really warms up it goes away. Any ideas?
Hmmm...are you saying you are going WOT before the car is fully warmed up? If so, shame on you. The double-throttle plates keep you from getting full boost when the car is still too cold.
You should be waiting at least 10 minutes of solid driving before REALLY getting on it, preferably 15 minutes.

I know that is a no no! I don't wait 15 minutes but I'm not burning rubber as soon as I pull out of the driveway. I'll usually wait till the car is up to normal operating temperatures.
