    "Coughing" car / warm engine

    Hi,

    My car is "coughing/jumping" (difficult to describe) after I change gear. It only happen when I have been driving for a while and the engine is warm. It happens mpst of the time after I pass the 2 nd and the 3rd gear. Looks like I do not put enough gas and the rev are not high enough. I know it is not that as it does not do it when the engine is cold. Could it be a problem with one of the turbos?

    Thanks

    G

    Does it happen at about 4000 rpm when your foot is hard on the go pedal?
