Default more ko4 problems (inside)
I've been having some surging issues with the k04... mostly fluctuating (sp?) boost when accellerating from lower rpms. I updated my MAF and it solved that problem but I now have more problems. Sometimes around 2,500-3,500 rpms the car is bucking. Seems to hesitate like there is no power and the car actually jerks. Needless to say, it is pretty annoying.
Could it be a vac line? Or the air filter (which is in dire need of replacement)? Any help would be great. Thanks

Default Sounds like it is missing at WOT as max load hits.
You could try gapping around .029-.031" if they are gapped wider than that. The plug might be a bit too cold to self clean. I'd pull them and see how they look.

Default the only thing is it happens mostly at half throttle
I can be accelerating or decellerating slowly and all of a sudden the car violently bucks.
