Do you run a test pipe or do you have a cat installed? What PSI you running? I may have missed it.
Yes happens after wot then back to wot, I always lift when shifting. Test pipe. 28psi FP red.

I thought you were running speed density? How was there a stock MAP sensor on it?

Swap another Omni MAP sensor on. It sounds like a fueling problem caused by improper airflow calcs which would be caused by a bad MAP. Omni doesn't exactly have a 100% track record like an OEM part. I just replaced on last week that was reading 2-3psi high (comparing load vs boost), and would occasionally cause the car to hiccup just like you're describing yours is.

It happened with the original oem (54k mile) sensor as well. But worth a try

You can't run SD on a stock MAP. It sounds like there is an airflow calc issue. On SD, the MAP and RPM are the only inputs for that.

I know that. The issue happened with the oem map sensor on MAF. I switched the car to speed density last wednesday with the new Omni 4 bar and problem is still happening. Hopefully that clarifies a little. I do not believe it is the map sensor. Unless it's a freakish coincidence that the original map sensor happened to be messed up AND the new Omni 4 bar is messed up. Just don't think so.

When running the MAF the stock MAP sensor doesn't really do anything except act as input for the ECU to calculate when to use the EGR.

Why are the electrodes bent on two of them? That could be an issue, causing a misfire. Get new plugs. Gap them to .020" with a FEELER GAUGE, not the plug gapper thing from autozone.

Def a good eye. New plugs will be picked up tomorrow. Currently awaiting a new intake from ETS and then will report back

Any update on how the new plugs went? Let us know, I'm keen to see what fixes the issue as I've had the same thing happen a few times. I'm gapped at .23 on OEM plugs, but might regap to .20
