seems everytime i replace sumthin on my car....something else goes wrong.its always one thing after the other.but just recently i replaced my wastegate actuator cause i couldnt hold past 8-9psi.car would make a "fluttering" kind of sound and then totally lose power and feel slow as hell.so now i can boost past 10psi,BUT! still makes "fluttering" sound and eventually loses boost and is slow as hell again.cant quite figure it out dunno .anyone have any ideas?im on the verge of selling it....but i figure ill give it one more chance

Hard to say without either data or being there...but, could the coil be bad? Have you checked the resistance across the coils?

Does it run okay at cruise?

Checked the damper bolt to be sure it is tight, looked at the crank sensor to make sure it is clearing all three blades on the damper properly?

Unplugged the cam sensor after starting to see if the problem goes away?

Is it showing detonation when the problem occurs?

Verified the fuel pressure is rising one pound for each pound of boost and holding it until you let off the gas?

Got anyone to switch parts with?

What rpm does it seem to correspond with? Weak valve springs?
