Default Super power loss and big bangs



I seem to have developed a problem under boost, it seems to be more common in higher gears when on full chat.

I lose ALL power for like 1 second, then SOMETIMES there are LOUD pops straight away, but then back to normal.

I thought it may be coil related, Tony C thinks possible spark plug blow-out?

Not testing tony's theory, just wondered if anyone else has had this problem, as it proper shit me up the 1st time, thought the snails head had blown off

Cheers guys!

Crank or phase sensor or fuel starvation !!


Spark blow out doesnt usually cause bangs and pops !

it gets nowhere near the limiter, a common time is like 90 in 5th lol

all the pipes on fine.

boost is 1.3 - 1.4 spike, 1.1 held.


Thanks for the replies so far guys!
