car judder!
bit of a strange experiance.some times when i hit or approach a certain speed,lets say 100mph the car will hesatate and judder then take off again.its quite a powerful shudder.this seems too happen more under hard accelaration as opposed to gradual smoothe acceleration.i thought it may be along the lines of the ecu or fueling but am reading about engine knock and knock sensors,subarus are fairly new too me so im still learning,i have no warning lights on the dash,no smoke and the engine just sounds normal to me.any thoughts or ideas on this much appreciated.its going in the garage on friday so will ask the mechanic to check but was wondering if there would be any more things i could be looking at myself,thanks,ryan.

thanks for the reply.its a 2002 jdm sti.it has a full decat exhaust,fmic,hks cone.im unsure as to any other performance modifications including an ecu remap as all the parts were on the car before i got it.i shipped it in from cyprus last month.apart from that the car runs completely fine,pulls well in each gear,no smoke or strange noises.fairly good fuel consumption.thanks again,ryan.

I had this at 2 levels and for me 1 problem was the car hitting boost cutoff turned out to be my waste gate pipe had popped off
The 2nd judder was because my turbo wasn't seated right

electronic boost controller! - there is your problem then, its over boosting and guessing its not mapped as the boost is hitting the cut off limit on the ECU

So you think that could be a possibility?ive actually been trying to get hold of a well known mapper to get it set up for being in the uk(fuel Ron etc) but after one email never heard anything back,thanks for the reply,Ryan.

And I can see why because you constantly are hitting and dropping above and below the ECU thresh hold
But yeah the answer to your question is yes I believe a map will sort it out, your car won't be running too good with out it considering what you have on there
Get a mapper and get it right
