this morning my car was fine but after driving it 2 mins putting my foot down ie: full boost my car is juddering just wont go but if i ease of the throttle a little it goes like stink. do u think its overboosting or could it be something else ?
v70 t5 problem
- Thread starter marv
- Start date
since i had it 2 days. 
what would u recomend ive been and got a boost guage today just need some rubber hose now to check to see if it is over boosting.
didnt seem to do it this morning when the engine had only been running about 5 mins.

first time ive owned a t5 and yes i am mechanically minded allways fix my own cars i just want other ideas/things to check as like i say its the first t5 ive owned as for taking it back its not an option im very happy with the car and i know the fault will be something small but the problem is like some of u have said there are many things that can cause this problem. ill be replacing the turbo vacume pipes tomorrow and checking the main intercooler pipes aswell, i would say it needs new plugs after inspecting them so that will be on my list of things todo. The idle of the car is good but i have noticed that when i give it some welly and it chokes the idle takes awile to settle back to norm from 2000rpm but if i dont make the engine choke it allgoes back to normal withing about 30 seconds.
ps:my t5 is p1 1998

i tried to register on that site but the admin has turned of registrations anything u can do there ?
im starting to think more and more its the plugs as it seems to happen once they get hot and its not like a fuel cut its more like miss fire but only at full throttle or its running out of fuel.
i took the plugs out yesterday to check them the color was fine but i dont think they had been out in awhile. going to fetch some ngk plaugs later today.
its ment to be running 280bhp remapped does this sound right ? and will thay cause plugs to fail quicker ?
