I could guess a million things, but my personal experience and reading these forums makes me think: plugs, coil-packs, etc then mod-related or possibly a bad clutch if you have a 6MT. There's a chance for bad gas which I have seen posted here, but never properly diagnosed. There is also wastegate issues on turbos but since it is gear specific that makes me doubt that.

Best of luck,

Yeah it isn't throwing a CEL. No mods except DCI. It is a manual, but i think the clutch is fine. I am really hoping it isn't the turbos but more the coilpacks. I also wonder about the DV?

I really need to get it scanned. I have a buddy who is a mechanic so I will see if he has the right tool
