What did i do to my car!?

I was driving home, was going 35 in a 45 behind some stupid kids, they turn i got the urge to boost in 3rd whatever.... So i was reaching 6k rpms, and it sounded like i hit something, but my engine felt liked it stopped, I didnt lose any power but for the split second. Then the rest of the way home, i was boosting, letting off gas to check everything, seemed normla, but now i get a feeling from the car that when i let off the gas it jerks slightly and feels like it drops power (only a little)

what did i do

Expl0d,
It seems like your are experiencing compressor surge from your BOV, when you let off the gas at least.

Perhaps a simple readjustment of your BOV screw is in order.

Fuel cut. Probly the MAS read too much airflow and cut fuel. Get a dynoflash or some other means to adjust the ECU so that when that much air flows it knows what to do with it.

My 2 cents
