Sounds like normal "compressor surge" that occurs with all GT35 turbos when you try and load them up at low rpms

The soultion is to shift down

When you have a large turbo you dont drive it like a truck - you have to keep the revs up a bit higher and the turbine and compressor in the proper range of efficency

The real trouble with a large inducer increase but no exducer increase, though, is it makes the turbo much more likely to surge. Surge is the situation when the compressor "spits out" more air than the engine can swallow, which causes a backup of air at the intake and it actually creates reverse-flowing pressure waves that can be very damaging to the turbo. You want to avoid surge at all costs.

You can help negate many of the effects of surge with a ported compressor cover - (which you should have already) and also by making the BOV spring looser

On the IX I would expect that MIVEC tuning could also assist the situation on a IX

Finally you may be able to massage the EBC settings - particularly gain to help reduce the surging

The main point is that compressor surge is part of having a large turbo so get used to it and shift down !

Likely caused by the low RPM high loads and surging you mentioned. Like Al said downshift and keep the R's up a little bit.

i had a o300 code from the stutter box. just get the obd 2 code reader from any auto parts store. and youll be good. clear the code and it should go away. it comes on and stays on till cleared. i cleared mine and was good to go.
