lol It looked like you had it under control with Jack.. Nosing over, do you manual shift the car ? Its sounds like your carrying it into overdrive.. If the tranny isnt flaring or the converter isn't going south. I got nothing

Good call Mikey, Ang..... are you shifting or is it shifting into overdrive? If I remember correctly, I think you don't shift, pull up to the starting line, put it in drive or overdrive and mash it....

What's your combo?
How much boost?
Details. We need details.

11.3@123mph on 195/75/14" whitewalls. Yes, 195s!
11.2 on the big giant slicks. What's the point? Maybe I'll go back to the whitewalls. They are lighter and have less rolling resistance.

Intercooler: Stock or front mount?
Still running a MAF? Stock or are you running a translator. If running a the translator, where is MAF located before or after the turbo?
Check the hoses make sure you don't have a loose clamp. You may hear the air rushing out, but maybe not.
How old is your converter?
I doubt it is your coil pack. With a bad coil pack, it usually bucks and farts when it is acting up. I think I had a similar issue when the plug on the module was loose though. Check that connection, or swap the whole coil pack and module for a known good set. Or swing by Jack's and have him test yours.

I need more details.
