[QUOTE=koukidough Another thing to take note; when losing power I can hear my wastegate release early at around 1.5k-2.5k rpm. I was testing it just today by pressing on the trottle a little (1cm) and releasing it right away will cause the wastegate to release early. I can repeat it nonstop on and off and hear the wastegate fully open and close in the same rhythm.

Step on throttle=openTake foot off throttle=closeme thinks wastegate may be the culprit. Maybe it gets stuck or loose when extremely hot.[/QUOTE]

do you mean blow off valve?? i changed the fuel cap and it hasnt happened since, but then again it sometimes doesnt happen for 5-6 days...
