hey guys i have a stock 1.6l miata with a greddy bolt on turbo kit boosting 5 pounds.
i noticed that in full throttle around 700rpms before red line in 2nd gear it feels like the turbo stops and starts again. the car kind of jumps?
has anyone experianced this before?

im not sure at the moment my friend checked and said i believe .30
i noticed if i adjust the wastegate tho by tighting it, it boosts much earlier but then the porblem kicks in around 4.5 rpms and 5k rpms? again once the turbo hits 5 pounds of boost. if the turbo is at 4 it barely does it .

People who haven't dealt with spark problems would be amazed at what a few thousandths does for how your car runs. It might run fine at .25 but run like complete **** at .30. Some people just write it off as unimportant. "How could a gap variance that small matter?" That's why it's important to be careful when installing plugs and don't bump them on the way in. One little tap could throw them off enough to cause running issues. Of course my memory could be playing tricks on me, I haven't had a decent car with this problem in many years...
