And Again Still Problem 700

1989 780

I am having a issue where when under medium boost i get a slipping type motion out of the car. i originally thought maybe it was a fuel delivery issue or turbo but no luck there. Basicly ( downhill any slope 1 degree or 12 degree ) under hard boost you can feel this slip like there isnt enough fuel, car kinda bucks lightly, now uphill same thing but happens at medium boost or higher car just doesnt want to keep going it will if you push the pedal harder and the turbo is assisting more at this point. here is what has been done to the car since i have owned it i do not know its history. IRS Rear End Converted To Shocks via IPD conversion kit. No Smoke From Rear. Tach Holds Steady During Issue. Express Yourself Here Im Getting Ticked I Cant Get This Car Perfect!!!
Bad Rear End? Bad Tranny? Turbo Hoses ( Seem Solid )? anything. See Below For Item's Tried Or Replaced!

Update: Aft replacing the Spark Plug's with Laser Iridium and the Rotor the problem has worsened and gotton better at the same time, now when i try to move from a stop the car just does not want to go once going it will putt along now if i lay the pedal to the floor it will take 1-2 seconds and then burn the tires off the rear end trying to go forward ( that now was a lot of fun !!!!! ) but as soon as i get to cruising speed she begins to bog down again 2K-3K. Again TACH and Turbo guage hold steady no movement they act like everything is working perfectly!

Right ... Stay away from fancy schmancy plugs and just use some copper Champions or Bosch. Also ONLY use Bougicord plug wires.
