So your thinkin maybe the breather hose setup and causing it to loose boost. Should i do a boost leak teat and see if its leaking anywhere

Im thinkin that the breather hose is causing a vacuum leak which is causing the sputter. Im a noob so I dont really know but from the research I did thats what makes the best sense to me. Try to check the crankcase ventilation system (breather hose all the way back) and see if theres a leak. Like I said, Im a noob so if anyone else has an idea/opinion please correct me or add to. Check this out, seems to cover this conversation Crankcase Breather Hose
