when turbo spools up @ 12psi, it felt like it doesn't have an acceleration. usually i feel pushing, but not today. i dont feel any acceleration during wot (only sometimes ). i dont know if its my gasket or my turbo. i will check the turbo 2morrow.

im going to check a boost leak and shaft play 2morrow. my old car used to do that and they said my valve cover gasket was blew out. so i probably check the valve cover gasket too.

no shaft play, no boost leak. so like what he said, timing might be pulled, its fine right now it only do that when its hot outside. is there any way i can fix that???
