loss of power when hot/higher gears rpms

well my car just started doing this last night as well. seems to drive normal when im not trying to accell fast, but does seem to use a little more boost then usual(maybe im trippin a bit) . i tryed to pull out and pass a guy last night on my way home from work and the car just did not want to move at all. felt like it was almost an un turboed car.

anyone have any idea what i can get to help stop this?

i have a sri,fmic,koso boost gauge, 3" cat back, and a turbo xs dual stage boost controler that doesnt seem to work. i was thinking of getting the bigger injectors, fuel rail, bigger fuel pump, unichip or the e manage( not sure whats better, feel free to give me some advice) what does the better waste gate do as well? is it something worth looking into?

i want to love my msp again
 
anyone know what a good ems would be to get? has anyone here used the e manage untimate?

I think most people steer away from the emanage. AEM FIC seems to be coming around now, and its cheaper, or go Haltech.....used it on my Celica Alltrac and worked great.

Kinda thinkin it has something to do with SRI or maybe the FMIC without the MAF relocated IDK the computer is definitely being thrown off by something and i think causing the computer to pull timing and/or dump fuel but mostly pull timing. I'm going back to CAI tomorrow and probably relocating the MAF next week. I really hope this works for me
 
yeah i have a relocated my MAF it seems strange to me that the car will all the sudden start running like this. its like it takes the turbo much longer to hit and when it does it seems like its barely there. im gunna try and get a chip or a new ecu and see what happens.
 
Well this just in my wastegate actuator just took a sh*t. Ordered the Forge adjustable actuator. Results to follow.
