Weird problems
Sup guys, so I've been having this weird problem with my car lately and I can't figure out what it could be. It's kinda hard to explain so bear with me.
So first off the car idles totally normal and I can rev it normally when its in neutral. However when the car is in any gear and I accelerate it almost seems to stutter.
For example, I put the car in 1st gear and accelerate normally and when I hit 2K RPM's or so it seems like im hitting a rev limiter and just bounces off it. Same with all of the other gears. It started a couple weeks ago and was really bad and then all of a sudden it just went away. Ive been out of town for the past week so I haven't been driving the car. Then today it was normal until I last drove it like 20 minutes ago and it's doing the same thing again but this time it's not happening quite as bad as it did the first time.
I have absolutely no idea what this could be. I checked all of my piping for a boost leak and it's all sealed tight.
If anybody has any ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks in advance!

PRetty sure mine does the same thing. It shutters but will climb very slowly if I keep on it.
it happends in 1st gear only and its because im only on a base tune aftr installing my turbo and it gets really rich down low in first. And I am nowere near getting on it for it to do this. Every other gear.is fine. But my problem is its real rich. Idk if yours is similar?

Edit: So I just drove my car again and now it is running fine.
This is really confusing me why it is so inconsistent like this!
