turbo boost

[Vsicks]

hello guys i hope someone can guide me in the correct direction.
while driving at normal speeds my car runs ok. but once i step on it the turbo loses boost not sure what can it be.

What do you mean by "looses boost" when you "step on it"? Do you mean the boost doesn't come up or the boost comes up then drops off?

 

[Vsicks]

sorry yeah it boosts then it just lt drops off almost like the car wants to die

Go with the simple stuff first. Make sure you intercooler hoses are good and tight

You could be looking at a fuel issue. How old is the fuel pump?

I'm guessing this too.

If your car still has a catalytic converter, it's time to remove it, or hollow it out.

Do you have a scanmaster? Are you seeing knock or worse hearing it?

this x 2 ... if its boosting then dropping off basic checks are in order .. first one being the fuel pump

First things first.. Keep your foot out of it, til you find the issues....
