yea my stock turbo is still strong, probably about 9k miles on it...didn't know much about turbos so i had it rebuild by forced performance. i've checked everything that i know of and i'm clueless. i'm plannin on getting it dynoed then running the track again

The clutch? Or a boost leak? I know one time when my car would go kind of fast and then stop pulling it was the Sorry POS Clutch Masters slipping under load. It would hold okay when I launched and through parts of second, but then would start slipping and cause the car to not accelerate any more. I don't really know man...good luck and hope you figure it out! Or maybe try installing S-AFC, that’s my friend told me.

lol i DO NOT own a gs. i also know it's a gsx cause i've looked up the car's number. for the leak, i dont think im leaking because i have a boost gauge set up. it boost 12 everytime i throttle it and stays at 12 until i release the gas. when i launch, i hold the brake and rev to about 2.5-3k rpm and when it's go time, i smash it right after releasing the brake.
