Feels like im holding the brakes
Ok this isnt for me its for the guy who bought my evo about 3 months ago
The car drives normal in every gear but once you get into boost its like im holding the brakes and brake boosting and it does it in 2-5th...ive checked all the vac lines and the IC piping and its all tight and no holes anywhere. ive checked all fluids in the drivetrain and all is good...but like i said its like im brake boosting once i hit boost
Mod- Full TBE, MBC set at 19psi, K&N drop in filter
Any help would be great

ok did a boost leak test...found ALL the leaks and fixed them i replaced the spark plugs so now its still feels like im holding the brakes but its not backfiring at all anymore
the car boost and the gauge reads 19psi and i can hear the turbo like any other day but could there be a chance the turbo is shot or something in the head because ive also noticed that the normal ticking can be heard over the radio and the windows down....
