i was gettin on the gas hard today in 3rd gear and looked down at my tach, and the needle was jumping, not moving fluidly. the car performed fine and took down an eclipse, but it the tach didnt move up smoothly, it jumped, not big jumps, but a lot of little jumps. i accelerated hard in first and second, and it didnt seem to do this. any ideas on whats goin on? the engine and turbo seem and sound like theyre working fine.

Sounds like an electrical problem. When the battery is low or the alternator is not charging enough, my tach would jump all over the place with the key on.

My tach and speedo do the same thing sometimes. There is a tech article here on how to fix it. I haven't tried it as of yet but am planing on it.
