16 psi on a 16g, fuel pump upgraded rewired.... car goes real strong then up around 6000rpm or so my airfuel tanks red and car hesitates bad....

at 18psi sometimes it will be pulling damn strong then wham car stops going for a second, air/fuel tanks red, then goes again till around 6000rpm

is it fuel cut?? or am I just having a fueling issue?? cause I got spanked by a WS6 the other night, and the car just wasnt going like it should... it doesnt feel like pulled timing or anything....

i run my 16g all day at 18psi no problem. this is with an unrewired 190 fuel pump and stock 2g intercooler. you have a 1g though right? so i guess it could be a different story. on the logger i am actually a little rich, .96v on the top end. this is a total shot in the dark, but try some BG 44K. if you have clogged injectors it will do wonders. i had a similar problem a little while ago and changed my fuel filter and added the 44K at the same time and the problem was fixed. but like ph3r3d said "take a logger to it". hope this helps:)

Sorry but I don't trust those blinky LED gauges. Get someone with a logger and see what the car is doing.

Do you have any boost leaks?

Probably... I was going to check that this weekend, and my vacum hasnt been as good lately, and it idle surges a bit while coasting.... so I think i have a big leak

well.... checked for boost leaks, had a ripped vacum line to the fpr... fixed that, didnt seem to make any difference.... runs fine on 14-15psi, changed/check the plugs, no sign of detonation... so it must just be fuel cut:(
