ok i just recently upgraded head gaskets and installed the t28...it runs great but if you arent on boost, and you are in the low rpm range (before 3,500) it jerks back and forth. Im not sure what this is..any1 have any ideas?

well even if your engine holds boost fine, you might have a small vac leak somewhere that's causing your car to run jumpy like that during low RPM range.

I would do a leak test to see if you got any leaks. Also, check to see that your timing is ok as well.
