Please help, first time scooby owner.
Hello all last thursday I got my first scooby it's a 97 wagon with full turbo back with de cat, air filter usual mods. But when giving it some 3rd 4th and 5th gear at around 4000+ rpm feels like I've hit a wall but fine when I change gear again it's also fine when driving around normal don't over rev over heat ticks over nicely so what can be the reason? Cheers

Coil pack, leads and spark plugs possibly. Failing under pressure.

I had the same problem when I had my first scooby, which was also a wagon 2000 turbo. It didn't have any mods though and think all it was was the boost sellonoid need cleaning with an airline. Took about 5 mins with someone who knew what there doing.

it needs a remap not "adjusting"
its overboosting due to not being remapped for the decat exhaust!!!!
how are you planning to "adjust" the boost?

Might be clutch slipping ? Mines just started to slip in 4th pulls as normal in lower gearing. Does engine go faster but car isn't ?.

for the last time
"IT NEEDS A REMAP"
the car is overboosting and the fuelling needs adjusting too.
take the correct advice or guess and blow it up, the choice is yours

a good service will only help the car.
try a mobile mapper like dynamix or jolly green monster.
they will come to you and map it.
