Turbo gasket?

Fuelling?(but im sure it would be like hitting a wall throwing you forward)

Check the Earthing (1st thing i would do)

Any gear or just 5th?

Boost problem/intercooler hair line crack?

I had an earth wire of my car(200sx) and it felt a little like hitting fuel cut but not as severe.



It could be the limiter if not removed.



Im no car or scooby expert but i do know quite a few problems and how to solve them.

would you have to reset the ecu after fiting new coil packs as i have heard that the ecu works it way around problems to run your car to best it can and after fitting new ones would it recognise this
