Could be a number of things:

Limp mode as suggested (which is normal at times if you're running the stock ecu and it's just relearning...give it a few miles and about half an hour or so and it should even out)

Could very well be a gasket that just expands when heated but I doubt it...

For sure zero boost leaks? Another coupler or hose popped off producing a leak somewhere else...

Was it ever working right after the tune? If not, could be the tune...fuel mixture might not be right depending on what "running crappy means". Fouled plug due to fuel...

Hard to say without hearing/seeing/smelling/hooking up to a tune. Usin all the senses

Good luck sir!
Texted ya too.

Can this be from a blown intake mani gasket?

would you do this if it was tuned for 22? Take a look at the plugs sometimes a plug on it's way out will run OK after it heats up some, but cold will run like ***.

It depends how F-d up the honeycomb is. People have run without it but that wouldn't cause the problem you're describing.

Chris I remember we had an eclipse in here that I believe you swapped an evo motor into, but never an evo.

Did you take the evo motor out of the eclipse and put it in an evo chassis?
