Hi guys, Been driving my 33 for a while now and it has been faultless. However the other week I was cruising at 60 and it felt like the engine power had dramatically decreased..almost cut off. I tried to push down the accelerator harder but the revs were struggling to increase and the car was in a jerky motion. I pulled over to the side and the idle was fluctuating from say 200, where the car would almost die, to 1200 rpm. After a few mins the care felt okay to drive again, but not 100%. Since then, if I don't use boost then the car will drive okay. Once I hit boost hard (1st gear pulls) and while im still in boost, it sounds like the turbo is whistling but the car isn't accelerating much. Then after this short spurt of boost the car will feel sluggish, jerky, and very minimal engine response from the accelerator. The car will end up regaining some power after a couple of minutes but not fully. Prior to this happening I had an aftermarket bov which I had to change back to factory. I thought it could be the issue so I changed it back to the aftermarket one but the car still acts the same. Fuel pump is a wallbro 255 and is fine...still primes when turning the ignition to ON. I'm still thinking it's some kind of fuel related issue. Maybe turbo has had it? Care to shed some light guys? Thanks for the help. EDIT: i have yellowjackets with the standard plugs that rb25dets use.. replaced the plugs only 2000kms ago

So i did a spark plug change so i had to take my top intake off, so i accidentally swapped 2 vacuum hoses around and i noticed because the car had no power, now i changed them back and now the car feels like it has no top end power anymore. I mixed up hose 10 and hose 3 in the picture

Yo! so yesterday my s2 R33 rb25det was working perfect never had an issue. i get in my car i go for a drive i go to hit boost and its struggling, it sounds like i have a bee r limiter but no power at all just making mad pops from the exhaust. the factory boost gauge shows its working but yeah no power and it struggles real bad. i have checked all the piping and lines. no leaks or splits. if anyone has gone through this or knows how to fix it please help. i just wannnaaaaa hit boost
