See if you can get a video of the problem. It sortof sounds like bad coilpacks. But it could be something weird happening with timing or fuel.

Well then it's probably timing or fuel related. Need more info to tell I guess. You don't have a wideband do you?

I think your car is possesed. Do you have any check engine lights? I think you should make a drive down here again and we can play around with it.

Check your plugs! Perhaps the gapping is off? Under-boost you may be outting the spark. What plugs are you using? What is your gapping? Also, check to see if your plugs are fully seated in the head. Loose plugs can cause this problem too.

Sorry for the thread jack... Im getting alot of hesitation on acceleration/ max feels really slugish/cant even break traction. Still gets 10psi. Pulled code for knock sensor, would knock sensor cause this? Also getting rattling from time chain .... thanks
