well after about 6 weeks of trying to get to the bottom of my ongoing driveablility issues i believe that it is solved. (the time was not helped by the new england weather and the fact that i have only a parking lot to work on the car)

my final theory is that my FPR, ignition coil and AMM to turbo hose all failed more or less simultaneously and to different degrees.

the short version is that the car would not really rev well beyond 3000 rpms and then develop various odd driveablilty issues (not rev well below 3000 rpm's).

i had a brief scare this morning but i think i was almost out of gas (the fuel gauge sender is a little wonky), i added gas and it was fine.

since i changed all of the turbo/intecooler hoses, the car is driving better than it has in the year and a half i have owned it. i forgot how much i love driving this car, i drive mostly on the highway and the 70 to 90 passing power is great.

anyway i wanted to thank everyone who has offered me their input over the last month or so. it has been greatly appreciated.
