Help me diagnose..

I just finished installing an 02 housing an 3" downpipe. My other mods consist of 3"TBE, aem intake and an ebc.

Now when my boost reaches about 12-14 psi, my car shutters violently and looses all power. This happens whenever the throttle is more than half way down. Is this what fuel cut is?

Car has never been tuned, but is going in on wed. for that. BTW IX, stock turbo, pump gas.

I say it's a misfire. Replace all the plugs.

Which AEM intake is it? Which EBC did you get? Where are you taking it for a tune?

Before you installed the O2 hsg., and DP, the car had been running just fine with the intake, EBC and exhaust? I'm just trying to isolate at which point of your mod sequence, the problem 1st presented itself.

Yes, the car had a catback w/ test pipe, aem intake, blitz ID3 and LICP, it idled and ran awsome, never had a single hiccup.

Immediatly after i installed the 02 housing and DP, the car hessitates around 14psi and has a pulsating feeling, almost like a bouncing off the rev limiter kinda feeling.

Im pretty sure the tune will take care of the problem. Just wanted to see if anyone had experienced this before, and knew exactly why it happens.

When you installed the 02 housing did you take the turbo off or just take the radiator out?

Did your peak boost warning get reset (on your ebc) somehow during the install?

No, the blitz ebc setting remained the same.
