you look for boost leaks? if you ease into the gas how much boost builds before it starts to sputter?

ABOUT 7 to 8 lbs, high rpm range as well

im still leaning toward boost leak, or maybe you got a dead plug. ive never used the plugs you are currently using i always run with BPR7EIX. maybe try that.

The plugs were changed how recent?
Speed density?

I'll do a boost leak Sunday and see how that goes.. yes speed density, a d plugs were changed this past Sunday and before that it never sputtered. Car has a freshly built 2.3 with a spoolinup ignition coil kit

Put another set of plugs in it. Or gap the current plugs down a little to see if there is any change.

Is the AFR plugging dead rich when it breaks up.

fuel regulator was fine, relay fuses to the double pumper were checked, boost leak was good, cam sensor was switched. what else can it be??? anybody who had the same problem on their evo get it fixed???? around 4k rpms its getting 2lbs of boost and its running lean..... oh and the wastegate was checked its fine as well
