catalina, I hope you don't mind if I also ask a Q-jet question in this thread.

I also have a bogging down issue at the top of second & third gear. Just as I approach 5k RPMs or just a bit over the car falls flat on it's face. I have to back off the throttle and let the car "recover" then I can get right back into her and she takes off again until the top of the next gear.

Does this sound as though I am running out of fuel at the top end of each gear? Once I get this issue resolved I can finally run the dyno again...
