    Car loses/cuts power in 4th and 5th gear

    No catch Can yet, should I get one forsure? And it actually doesn’t smell diluted. Yeah there was e forsure last night when I did the pulls. One thing I checked and noticed was that there was oil and oil residue all over the Intercooler piping and the tip of the turbo that goes from the TMIC...

    Car loses/cuts power in 4th and 5th gear

    So today I got a chance to do a WOT in 4th gear twice and it ran so smooth and no knock at all. What would this mean? Can I get away with adding E to my tank here and there? Or would I have to get tuned for it? I do want to say that I did have to add oil this morning cause it needed some.

    No worries but thanks man I appreciate your help! I’ll definitely give that a try once I go thru this tank of gas. And yes I’ll give it a better look as well again.

    It falls on its face as a lack of fuel. You can feel like the whole engine and front end like shake and vibrate when that happens.

    Yes sir possibly less than two months ago I swapped them all out and gapped them at .28. And under heavy load you mean WOT? Because that really only happens in WOT in those gears.

    Unless I go back to the penzoil platinum 5w30 and then Im thinking of switching out the pcv valve maybe that’d help and then even try a different tuner.

    Car loses/cuts power in 4th and 5th gear

    I see exactly what you mean. Well I would have to get a downpipe if it is the turbo if I were to get an aftermarket turbo too right? What’s the identical turbo to the Ko4?

    Car loses/cuts power in 4th and 5th gear

    I have three years with the car. I’m the second owner of it and got it with 40k miles and right now it has about 98k.

    would getting maybe a high flow catted down pipe from like Corksport help in anyway? I’ve been looking into getting that either way already. And so if I do that, what would it mean if smoke actually comes out ?

    Car loses/cuts power in 4th and 5th gear

    Well it honestly doesn’t smoke at all thank god whether it’s from decel or accel from stop but it does eat up a lot of oil. And I actually am still with my stock down pipe, would I have to upgrade based off all the mods I have already? I think that’s all I need to pretty much be full bolt on.

    Car loses/cuts power in 4th and 5th gear

    Yeah I think it is because the far left one is even bent from where you gap them. What would that mean? But yes there was a bit of oil residue on both side.

    Im on pump 91, I’ve used gas from Shell and also at king soopers fuel pumps a lot and I thought it might’ve been that and started pumping at Sinclair and the same result. And I use to use Penzoil platinum 5w-30 and now I’ve been using Rotella t6 5w-40.
