RE: partial throttle stall?
Mine doesnt actually shut the car off. It jerks really bad when I let off the throttle, and then resumes normal operation. I dont get a cel, im not sure what a epc light is, but I dont think i get it either. And this doesnt just happen sometimes. If I get into more than 5lbs. of boost and let off, it will jerk. I am going to inspect my vacuum lines and dv soon. I also have a problem that if i shift hard, when I floor the next gear, it feels like about a full sec of lag then starts pulling again. that is what makes me believe it is the dv.

except i called it a surge, its more like slight lag when boosting high and shifting gears.

surge is a different thing all together, when asking for advice as much info on your car is required, don't just show a picture of your car it might not be yours
not that im bothered

RE: partial throttle stall?
All right, well i have the elim gtrs with stock inlet pipe, and stock airbox with stock air filter. Is it possible that it just cant suck enough air and after a shift has to rebuild the boost?
I have a new 3" inlet pipe on the way that gets rid of the step down on the turbo inlet, so if that doesnt fix it, I am going to smoke test it then if thats not it, it almost has to be the dv.

RE: partial throttle stall?
Hey man I had a very similar post around 2 weeks ago and I finally got around to figuring out what's wrong. In my case I think (still not 100%) that one of my knock sensors is giving an erratic reading and thus the ignition timing on cylinder 4 is retarded. If you have a vag-com you can run tests on blocks 20 and 26 (I think...it's somewhere around that) at WOT and see if you get any strange readings. Cylinder 1 & 4 knock sensors and cylinder 2&3 should give very very similar readings. If there is any discrepency, this could very well be your problem.
