bogging? define bogging.

like building boost slowly or not building boost and barely accellerating?

need you to be abit more specific bud. What all do you have done to it.

Ive had the same problem. Might possibly be boost leak. Go to nico and check the diy section for the diy boostleek tester. And test it out. I had the same problem. And still kind of do. But only under full boost at wot.

And this is heath spencer the dude you did the ka swap for. I did go over to the CA side. Is it the same hatch?
