Hi i just want to know 2 things about my 180sx

1 of them is that every now and then when i give my car a thrash it goes no where it feels like there is a boost leak. you can hear the turbo spooling and you can hear the blow off valve the same but the car goes no where at all just wanted to know if any of you guys know wat the problem would be??

the other thing i wanted to know about my car is what is a good intercooler kit for my 2lt 180sx??

IMO for a street car just a JustCrap cooler kit or similar would be fine. or to remain legal a decent SMIC (Side Mount), ARC or similar...

Ive got a 180 too, and indeed i have also noticed a massive flat spot every now and then, sometimes i dont get it for days/weeks.. eg - im driving, accelerate, engine revs, builds up max boost, and i feel hardly any pull, like its in a limp mode or something? ...no pull, no power, clutch is NOT slipping... incredibly sluggish... checked my ecu for codes, none stored. ive re earthed my fuel pump, i guess it could be a knock sensor? could be alot of things really... anyway, ill accelerate heavily again and 2 seconds later, it pulls like normal.. bizzare... though, sometimes i have to switch off my ignition and restart my car to get it to stop doing it after its done it a couple of times, which makes me think it goes into some kinda limp mode.. Another thing i noticed... when it happens, the flutter seems to be like 3 times longer/louder - possibly timing related?

Happened to mine... changed heapsa stuff... might have nailed it now though used to happen without fail after 5 mins driving started with fuel pump - made it better but still happened all the time intercooler - helped heaps, made the car go harder then ever, but would still sometimes slump. exhaust manifold gasket - pretty much fixed, drives a dream 99.8% of the time.
