Default Ok guys, I need help diagnosing a problem. Car is a 99.5 1.8tq with
Apr stage 3. If I am in 5'th gear coasting down the highway, then wot. I start building boost,and say I'm at 10psi and then someone cuts in front of me, I let off gas and the car bucks hard. However if I boost all the way to 17-22psi this does not happen. If I downshift to 4'th and get half boost it does not happen either. Can anyone help me?

Default i suggest you check the cable and the throttle linkage
there should be a recoil action when you pull and let it go

Default Dude, I'll be so pissed if it's the dump, I got a Baily when they
fisrt came out. I thought this was the last I ever had to buy!!!!!!!!!!! Do you think the clutch could make these symptoms? Cause I know the clutch is on it's way out.
