Sounds like a tune issue to be honest... who tuned the car?

Honestly what I thought after trying a few basic things. First AMS, then a guy out here named Adam who actually was AMS's initial tuner from what I understand. He's tuned a few of my friends cars and they run phenomenally.

Problems persisted through each tune, been on the dyno twice and once on the street. All that was able to be done was pull a little fuel during WOT.

Check the above post. This is where I derived the idea of a possible issue with the ecu making the tune bad even though it's not if that makes sense.

It sounds like a tune to me, but it could also have something to do with the ignition system if you're still on the stock master-slave cop setup.

I know there are awesome tuners out there that can tune a VTA bov with the maf but that might be the problem.Just a guess.

My suggestion would be go speed density and have it tuned. The Intake design to me seems like it would make it more difficult to tune along with the VTA Tial BOV.

what injectors you running? Now I know there has been a lot of stock ecu is good enough for this and proven for that but IMOP that your limiting yourself to your setup. All the tuners I have talked to love standalone over stock ecu, easier to tune, a lot less BS, no limits. Not saying just to go standalone but you should consider it. Car will drive better than stock.


Now with your current situation have you swapped maf's? or even ecu's? to see if there was a change

Do not believe the egr vac lines should loop at the TB... think this causes idle issues as it will bypass the throttle plate that way.

Injectors are precision 1200cc. I'm aware of standalone. I ran an aem series II before and it was a horrible experience. The car should run better than it does regardless.

I would check the injectors. Could be carbon build up or some sort of blockage. Get them flow tested and cleaned with a report.
