Hey, lately my vlt has been surging/ hesitating on boost around 4000rpm in 2nd and 3rd gear. The fuel pump and fuel reg have been upgraded, Iridium sparksplugs and Splitfire leads also. Just wondering whats going on and is it best to just put it on a dyno.

yep its fustrating, as well as the car surging, boost is also only hitting around 6-7psi with a 12psi actuator so I'm definately putting it on the dyno to get the preload on it checked also.
