Fuel cut? - 2/7/2008 4:51:21 PM    5280LANEVO   Posts: 33 Joined: 1/30/2008 Status: offline Ok guys i bought my evo with a bov and what seems to be a MBC under the hood,I don't have a boost gauge yet so i don't know if my boost is spiking but if i had to guess i'd say thats the problem.So here it is, ok every time i floor my car not long after it  cuts out or something and kind of sputters the rest of the way i can feel it try to correct itself but it does it every time in every gear.
