	It only happens when I removed the foot completely off the 
	throttle.

	The normal scenario for the jerk is while I am going around 
	20MPH, in 2nd gear, bar about 0.4 to 0.7, and if I take off 
	the foot completely. 
	My car idles around 1250 RPM, I am not sure if it is normal.
	I have ordered the service manual, and will look into this.
	By the way what is decal bypass?

	Excuse my ignorance on turbo, but if you mean by boost is 
	that the bar is 1.0 or higher, then I am not on boost.

	Oh'  you are from San Jose. The scenario I am describing is when 
	at 6:00 PM you are going east on 237 in the right most lane to 
	take 880 north. If you are familiar with that area durring the 
	evening commute hours, you can imagine what a full boost will do.
