No power/acceleration in 3rd gear during fast accelerations from stop. This happens occationally. Any ideas? Feels as if I'd put it into 5th instead of 3rd gear.

PFS Purple computer (set on high)
PFS intake
Full exhaust mod.(w/ bad catalytic converter)
PFS Intercooler
many more.

 

That happened to me a couple of times and i noticed both times that i missed 3rd and went into 5th. Are u sure ur not doing the same thing??

 

i felt that before when my car was still mostly stock. i've also heard a lot of people talk about that.

 

What is your boost curve?

 

Boost curve? Are you asking about the boost setting?
When set at high on PFS purple computer;
1st.turbo: 12psi
2nd: 15psi

 

I know for sure that I did not skip 3rd and put in the 5th gear by mistake because it's around 60mph when I switch from 2nd to 3rd, and at that speed, even if I had put in 5th by mistake, the car should have responded somewhat normally to my acceleration.
But no, the problem I'm sometimes running into feels as if I had put the car into a 10th gear from 2nd gear.

 

Lets forget about the boost settings.
What is your BOOST gauge telling you?

 

12 then 15psi

 

It happens so rarely that when it does happen, I don't look at the boost gauge at all. I'll keep an eye on it next time.

 

its deffinitely normal...just something about these cars. a lot of people say how the car throws you back in first and second then in third it feels like you just hit a brick wall....the car is still going fast obviously but there is just about no accelleration.
