Last summer my car developed a "popping sound" and bucking at WOT at full boost (near or lighted red LEDs). I followed some advice I recieved and replaced a few things on the car and it never fully solved the problem.
In addition when this problem was occurring the lines to the turbo were soaked with oil.
I replaced the wastegate solenoid and the little rubber hoses so they don't blow off anymore, but the car still has sort of a "pop" to it but not near as much bucking.
No I don't have an aftermarket boost gage yet, working on getting a GNX dash for that problem. I also don't have a scantool yet (because I can't find a cheap laptop for the life of me). What are things I can look for without these tools?
