This just started as of recently. When accelerating at the beginning of first or second gear the car starts rolling then it feels like it hits some sort of flat spot...kind of "pauses" then levels out and is fine. It only does it sometimes. I'm almost wondering boost leak, but I can't find anything undone. It feels as if the boost is having to catch up, if that makes sense...For the most part, it's running fine. I'm not exactly boosting just yet. I'm still rolling around under 0 psi since I haven't put in the fmu yet. So as of yet I'm using a tb28, 315cc supra green tops, msd ignition box and an 02 simulator. It never use to do this...she's been sitting for a while so all I can figure is a giant cob web in the turbo or something of that nature

Well...there's nothing that is "tuning" it at the moment. The msd box only works when I'm actually in boost. I went ahead and ordered a wideband so I can see what's going on with that. This thing has just been a very slow project. I've turbo-ed it for almost 6 months now and haven't gone past 3-4psi:-/.
I pulled the plugs earlier, they look fine. In regard to the smoking...I'm still lost. No oil in the pipes or inlet/outlet of the turbo. I also put in a new pcv valve. FM said that using the protege valve cover will do this...Ideas?

Take the turbo off your car before you blow something up, please. No e-thug bullshit - you're going to seriously damage your motor if you continue to drive the car in that state. Take the turbo off, take the injectors out, and save up some money for engine management.
