virgin evo in need
so i am stationed in germany and need some advice. i bought an evo 8 right before being shipped over seas, ran great until about 2 wks ago, but now, over 10 psi, under 1/2 throttle or more, the car stutters and the motor jumps and backs in and out. It kinda feels like a mis-fire? Maybe a fuel or spark issue, or maybe a wastegate problem. There is no one to diagnose the problem where i am, so i thought i would just put it out there. Any advice would be grately appreciated. thanx.

yyyeah. it's definately not that. i went through all the piping, vacume lines, and fittings. It just jolts really bad a couple times then comes back in. but it stops boosting at 10-12 psi. thanks tho. idk. is it true that if the wastegate is failing, it opens at 10 psi?
