What work have you done on your car? It will help us to advise better if we know what you have replaced on the engine and ideally brands of parts.

Nothing the car is bone stock only thing is the bov after the intercooler , I'm wanting to get it running perfectly before I decided to any major upgrades I did pull the head off about 6 months ago to do valve stem seals and got the the hydraulic lifts reset , and I changed the turbo cartridge, that's all I've done
