Default Odd power loss on 3000gt vr4


Alright. I am stuck. At high rps, if i press on the clutch, and let the rpm drop, the car would shut off, so i took it to the dealer. They told me there was a leak in the Y pipe, so i'll have to get a new one. No problem, i ordered one from here http://www.3sx.com/store/comersus_vi...idProduct=1590 and went back to get that installed. After that. they told me it was the ICS or ISC or something, which was bad, so i needed to change that, and i did that right tehre and then as well. Car was all set, i drove it, after 40 mph, car knocked violently, and wouldnt speed up, turned right around and went back to them, they said there were other leaks, so i left the car there. I have an HKS twin intake, and a Blitz blow off valve installed by the way, so the guy tells me that the intake was llose, and the car is all set. I was in a hurry, i picked up the car, and it did drive better, but oddly enough,thebeastly kick wasn't there. The car accelerated very nicely, but not as nice as it did before. They did fix the problem of the rpm dropping and shutting of the engine, but now car sounds different, and has less power. They said that there is an exhaust leak, and after i get that fixed, they will have to re calibrate the ISC or ics or something. i am hoping that is the reason for the power loss, but i'vehad that exhaust leak for a while, and teh car was still quite beastly. can some one tell me what i can do?

Any one know any good 3000gt mechanice in massachusetts. i was under the impression that the dealers know their stuff, but i am doubtful. I want to know if any one knows any good mechanics in boston who knows how to deal with twin turbo engines and can modify them.

thank you for your help guys.
