Well Guys, I've been driving my car since may, and this is definatly a good running car, but ive been having this problem lately, under normal load, even at 12 pounds of boost, car runs great, no hesitation no problems. But when i go to take a turn and then mat the gas, the car hesitates really bad, and sometimes i hear a pop from the exhaust. Now i know my car needs a ignition switch, because my water temp after market gauge isnt working properly, like it always has.
I really dont know how to explain this, so im going to attempt to make a video of the problem, but its a really bad hesitation, and when i apply more throttle, it does nothing. I also, thought it might be a fuel problem, but it happens no matter how much gas i have in the tank.
and i also only pulled a code 22, which ive had since i put the car on the road,
Thanks,
Chris.

Sounds like your fuel pick up has come loose, or you have wiring problem that is aggrevated by turning (something getting pinched?)

Ill bet you may have either the incorrect sock on the fuel pump, the sock fell off, or there is no sock at all.

well the thing is, i know i need a tps, i want to replace the 2 fuel injectors i havent yet, and i need the bp sensor, so im gradually saving the money up, and the car goes off the road next week.
Thanks for your input, i'll probaly end up dropping the tank over the winter.

Quick test for the ignition part. Get a few feet of wire, run a temporary 12 volt bulb from the coil plus side (feed from switch)and ground. Just hang it under the dash somewhere for the time being. Watch the light when the popping happens, light flickers, power was lost. I use this for many of those "maybe electrical gremlins".
It sounds more like fuel, like the other posts recommend, fuel pickup in the tank. Try filling it to the nuts, and see if that helps. If the pump is fully submerged, it almost takes away the not picking up fuel variable.

84, what is the fuel level when this happens? I'm asking because mine did the same thing when I turned a corner, usually left, but only when it was running low on gas.
