questions about clutch or spark plugs
 
ok guys heres the thing, my 99 si has a T3 on it and the turbo is set to 6 PSI, the car starts going but when i get to a certain rpm, the turbo stop go down to 3 PSI and keeps going down slowly but only at high rpms and the rpms also start going up with no power but not that fast or anything, it doesnt feel like the cluth is slipping but thats what i think it is, i told my friend about it and he says that his 99 eclipse gst did the exact same thing untill he bougt new spark plugs, i have those bosch 4+ platinum...ones with 4 thingys instead of one, could that be what it is, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-[

try adjusting the rod behind your clutch pedal...it may be engaging too far out

only seems to be on 3rd 4th and 5th, it gets more severe as you go up, i dont think it does it at all on 1st though

ok, i changed the saprk plugs and that didnt do ----, so im guessing its my clutch, so is that why my boost keeps going down or is there another reason, im guessing the clutch is sliping so there is less of a load on the engine and the turbo isent staying spooled up, does that sound like the problem? has anyone had a problem like this before?

adjust your wastegate for more boost and see what happens. how do you know that its actually at 6psi, how did u test that?
