Stumble at high revs

Hi guys, need an assist on this. The car stumbles at hi revs but I don't get it that often. Not getting white smoke from the exhaust so the turbo seems fine. Changed spark plugs today and tightened pipes, but it still happen. It doesnt seem to occur when i'm in 4th (for example) and accelarating right through the gear. Occured when I dropped from 4 to 3 tho. My Walbro fuel pump should arrive soon so i'll change that out. Has anyone experienced something like this before? Is there anything else I can look at.

ok, jusst went for short drive, found that if you accelarate gradually thru any gear, its fine. But once u race thru 1st then get to 2nd at about 5000rpm, it stumbles. Same story with third and fourth, seems as though something or the other can't keep up.

Yup, exactly whats happening, if i drop the hammer in 1st car will rev happy to 7000, after shifting and its still in high revs thats when it stumbles, just hope its the fuel pump. gona park it off until i get the FP, don't wana do any internal damage.

Mine did that for a while and then it just sorted itself out.
Pull strong now without doing that.
Mine only did it on cold mornings and at night when it was cold.
I suspect It has to do with the AF ratio, since I was boosting higher and thus my AFM gave a wrong reading or so and to much air and not enough fuel.
But ja its sorted now!

I had a similar thing but it only happened when I was relatievely low on fuel. It only happens when you change to 2nd or 3rd in high revs. The walbro seemed to sort it out.
