ok well i finally got around to puttin a manual boost controller on my car( cheap one from ebay) i got it on im running around 10psi, and for some reason when i get on it full throttle, it kinda hesitate's and sounds funny, but if i let off it a lil bit it'll boost hard again? its kinda like sumthings eating boost, its so weired, could it be from the "bleed hole" on it is to small? the bleed hole is sopose to make so the wastegate wont stay open like most mbc cause, which causes boost to build way slower? someone please help me out....

i was talking to a guy w/ an SR last night, said that right as he'd go into boost, the car would hesitate, and do nothing. Said it was the result of his stock fuel pump being on its way out. He upgraded to a warlboro and the problem dissapeared
