[urq] stumbling under boost

[Johan Hisinger]

Hi,

it sounds a lot like a massive air leak...

I had a stumbling problem a few years ago, after looking for air leaks etc. 
the problem was sorted with a change of fuel injectors. The spray pattern of 
the  old injectotrs were tested, and it was so good that the workshop did 
not suspect these at first.

Cheers,
