Okay I have an interesting issue, my car is acting funny and I need help to diagnose it. It runs and idles but when trying to smoothly accelerate ( not quickly) Its almost like the fuel is cutting out for a quater of a second , then it does it agian, and faster and more violent till I let off the gas. it doesnt make any noise just a sudden loss in power, However if I accelerate quick it doesnt do it at all!?
This is my post for when I installed it. I have about 2000 miles on the setup maybe more but this is a slight driveablilty issue. The spark plugs are Vpower NGK and are currently gapped at .035 and I just put new Autolight premium wires in last night ( which appeared to help some) and its running BP 93 octane fuel and I am only running a 5 psi spring in the wastegate with no boost controller. I have a front mount intercooler. Do I have a injector problem??

What year car is it? Are you using a FCD or Missing Link?

Stroked 2.2L

Well if it is 96 or after you need FCD or ML, mine did that and it was the ML that didn't have the filter on. so I put it back in and with something that doesent hold the air flow of the filter to hold it in place to make sure it stays in place. A piece of plastic and rubber bands worked for me! Also if you have some thing to tune with would help . After the ML thing I fixed the loss of power by adding fuel just before the boost kicks in start at 2000rpm and that shuold help.

Anything else just ask.
