A blinking cel was displaying on the dashboard. It seemed as though the turbo system was not adding any extra charge to the ambient air.

Vehicle began shuddering heavy between 40mph and 50mph. Requiring me to depress the gas pedal heavy to avoid the shuddering, its almost impossible to drive my vehicle at 45 mph (which is the speed limit in most of the area i drive in). This occurrence is when 5th gear changing to 6th gear, which is typical between 45 mph. Not sure what damage this is doing to my vehicle, let alone the safety risk this may be…
