I had the same problem after installing INT pipes. It's one of two things...either your car is hitting a fuel cut...but if you haven't changed the boost, probably not. Most likely...you need a tune. That was the case with mine. If you reset the ECU and drive around for a couple days without stepping on it, it may be ok...as mine was, but I would reccomend getting a tune as soon as you can. That would fix it for sure. In the meantime, it's fine to drive around.

Please do not double thread.

Did you do a boost leak test after the install?
