hey i drove my car today...if i slowly accel then its fine...but if i give it like -5 to -2 boost...around...then it sputters and sounds like a helicopter...is that still a blown coil? whats your opinion ssei95...is that what yours did...it doesnt do it until the boost gets up there...or rpms...????

That could still be a bad coil pack. Until you get any real load on the engine it probably won't show itself too bad. At smaller accelerations the difference between the good coil and the bad will be less noticeable. The more gas you give it the greater the difference from the properly functioning packs and the faulty ones.
There is a chance it could be something else besides the packs but my money is still on them. Either way they are the cheapest feasable fix.

Besides, If it was the PCM or any critical sensor or something that went you should be getting SES lights at minimum while driving. Since your not getting them it is probly something simple like coil packs.
Let us know how it turns out.
