low output

I keep getting low output out of my car. I will be at a light or going up a hill and want to accelerate but cant. Sound like the supercharger doesn't kick in but it doesn't do it all the time plus I can still hear the intercooler pump when I turn the key off. Any ideas on what this might be?

I would guess its the IC pump starting to fail. Thats what happened with mine. Off then on for a while. Completely random.

This is the best guess to all.

Since you already have mods, I would upgrade to the Johnson CM30. If this doesn't fix the problem, then you haven't wasted any money because this is a performance mod that you will benifit from as soon as the real issue is found. If it does fix the issue; there's your two dead birds, and it only cost you one stone.
