Modifications?

I think it might be a problem with the injectors. Probably clogged injectors.

What do you mean losing power? Like it's cutting out completely? Feels like it's down about 15 hp? Hesitating? Etc...

thats around the RPM where the vdi kicks in, so unless its total power loss it could be the cause

The 6 ports are working and didnt cut out completely its like it was struggling to to hit the higher rpms ...I dnt know if any of u have played Gran Turismo but its kinda like wen u top out the car and its at its peak but then it drops a couple of hundred rpms then it goes back up..
