seems like ur not getting fuel. my car did something similar when i tried to boost quickly off 1st gear. i had something wrong with an injector but after i got that fixed i never had that happen again but idk if it was the cause of the problem but it might be something to look into. dont swear by me

Might be too rich...how much boost are you running...and what does it exactly do during this "bogging"? It could be:
Too much fuel
Not enough fuel
Bad plugs
Bad plug gap
Coil
Boost leak


The list could go on...more info. please.

they did a fuel test and a ignition test.......and they said everything was good....im thinking it could be a sensor or something....im boosting at 17 dropping to 15.....
when i go wot and hit 4krpm it boggs out and it looses power....than the rpms drop down...

today me and my friend were looking at it and when i revved it to 4k rpms and let off the lower intercooler pipe would suck in instead of expanding....
i still have the stock intercoller piping.....

Sounds like you just need stronger pipes. All those mods have given your car asthma.

That might be a cause...A while back I replaced my stockers with hardpipes; definitely not inexpensive though.
