Angry Problem...I get a big hesitation when i am in high boost...

Ok on my profec b I have the boost on low.I ran this lancer and i had no problem with the boost but when i put it into High boost about 5100 rpms when the transition took place the car just fell flat on its face.It felt like someone rear ended me.But it only happens on high boost.
Guys any suggestions on what it could be.Either related to bad spark plugs or something.

Thanks

Mods, ECU, tuned?
The plugs are good place to start looking.

PM'd you back.
You're not hitting boost or fuel cut are you, just some serious hesitation?
Does your boost creep past the settings in the PFC?
You might want to upgrade your injectors!

What he said. Make sure your PFC boost setting is above your profec's high boost setting, with some extra headroom to allow for creep.

I had a problem whenever the second turbo spooled it would fall flat on its face.

The fuel pressure was erratic and it needed a fuel pump.

Yes, you have to have the PFC boost settings set to atleast as high boost as you are running with your boost controller. Otherwise, the PFC will fuel-cut.

Also, what are your injector duty cycles? Have you had the PFC tuned? Ran it on a dyno to verify proper A/F ratios?

sounds like an injector transition problem, are you running the correct settings for your injectors? are you SURE?

Your hitting it at your Torque peak. Might be fuel. Might be clutch slipping. Mine felt that way at same RPMS and believe it to be clutch related in that case. The power comes back slightly after the peak. A Map that isnt specific to your car is great for baseline but still needs to be tuned on the street with a wideband or a dyno. With Datalogic software. Good luck. Also if your in NJ your not too far from Demtrios at Reactive racing. He tuned my car and it pulls harder than ever.
