I'm having this strange occurrence with my car. Yes i have tried searching and i found someone has had this EXACT problem before and no one ever answered it, so i'm just going to quote him myself.

i have an s13 blacktop if that helps.

"this doesn't happen all the time only the odd time here and there,
when it does happen you can hear the turbo spooling but the power is'nt there to make the car go untill you get into the higher rev's 3 to 4 thousand upwards before you get a bit of a kick from the car( but still not as much as usual),
the thing is wen you turn off the car and leave it for a few hours and get in and drive it again the problem is gone and the car drives perfect again and can run perfect for days/weeks with no prob's and then wen you least expect it, it comes back again and it has me baffled"

My gauge is reading boost at the manifold and it holds .5 bars strong.

anyone help. PLEASE.
