So I've tried just about everything and scoured the forums but can't find a resolution to the problem I'm having. Car is an 04 XR6 turbo Ba 4 speed auto. Upgraded Intercooler and piping, throttle body relocation, GFB boost Controller, turbosmart actuator, shift kit, Tuned to 15psi but have set boost to 11 through controller, doesn't make a difference either way. Has new plugs, intake manifold gasket, all leaks checked, throttle body replaced as it was throwing codes. Tried standard boost solenoid too and cleaned it, bypassed straight from turbo to actuator- same problem. Nothing I do seems to change it. New fuel filter, changed plug gaps nothing makes a difference. Car feels sluggish to get moving but comes on boost okay and will hold whatever boost it's set at in a straight line, but if I get right up it and it loses traction (rarely ever and only ever up a hill) it dies in the ass, usually pops and has a breakdown for 30 seconds or so. What is causing it and why is it such a slug. Shouldn't be such an effort to break traction on 11-14psi, even on stockies. Won't even stall up on the spot, barely even in the wet sometimes. Traction is permanently turned off through the tune and fry's up fine cutting hoops so don't imagine that's the issue. WTF is wrong with it, starting to drive me insane.
