Default Losing Power On My ZVH heeelpp

I need some help please people. My car keeps losing power doesnt always happen but does happen alot. When i put my foot down the exhaust gets louder but the car doesnt speed up at all. the rev gauge doesnt rise. and i get a tapping noise which i belive is related coming from the engine bay. If i push the throttle the noise gets faster. like a tapping knocking noise.

Took it to the local garage but they couldnt find anything wrong with it. They checked the clutch and for air leaks in the turbo.


HEEEELLLPPP !!!!!

i'd give a tuner a ring, someone who knows about zvh's.

could be an airflow problem. could be timing. could be fueling.

try whoever built the engine too.
