buckling under partial throttle
I notice the car running around 400 C. Also the car seems to buckle a bit while accelerating, in boost but not under full throttle. Does this have anything to do with disconnected O2 sensor? Thanks in advance!

I have a similar problem. My mechanic is replacing a faulty O2 sensor, which he tells me will fix the problem. He put mine on a 5 gas analayzer to determine the fault. No O2 sensor or a bad sensor will cause the car to run lean or rich or both!

Are you runing a 1 bar boost spring? Does the bucking act like the fuel is cut off a sec then it starts to pull again. You might be triping the over boost switch which is suposed to trip at 1.1 bar but some say are a problem. I have experanced the same problem and have just received an adjustable switch set at 1.4 bar from Shelby Suppercharger to correct this.

I have only had the car for two weeks. My mechanic told me I have a 1 bar spring. Once I get the O2 sensor fixed I will be able to tell if that was all it was. I will let you know when I get it back how it runs.
