holding back? feels like somethin stoping the boost?
hi guys i have a 03 sti jdm iam not sure if this is how they all are but if iam in 5th or 6th gear doing about 80mph if i put my foot down it feels like its holding back feels like its not goin anywere as if the boost comes goes comes goes every second its hard to explain, but if i keep the revs hight and drop down a gear its fine, on the roads its fine also. if i went from 1st to 6th with my foot down to 120mph its fine, only happens if my cruising and put my foot flat to the floor, just gets on my nervs when you get someone in a nova gte at the side of you on motoway and they pull away, i then have to start droping gear after gear to catch up anyone help?

Maf sensor. My 1999 turbo was EXACTLY the same. Goes ok if you 'tickle' the throttle or nail it, but if your foots anywhere near half, its like either too much fuel of too much air and just goes flat.

the 4 inch centre section and back box are causing a lower back pressure than the factoy have mapped it for. This is worst in 5th and 6th gear as the load is larger.
The boost control is therefore not expecting the boost to rise as rapidly as it does and it feels hesitant as it hits boost target and overboosts then tries hard to reign itself in.
Get it mapped would be my advice.
or remove the exhaust mods
or put up with it (it is not doing it good though if it is overboosting a lot)
Have you got a boost gauge?

I don't think it is boost cut. Boost cut is very violent and the car cuts off all power till manifold pressure is negative (basically cuts off power till you get off the accelerator).
I suggest you try replacing the MAF as was suggested by weeebell above.
