Hey I tune, I taught the guy at MDR to tune, I'll diagnose your car for free and if you want it tuned it would be diff. but I don't mind helping you research.

Honestly, I have had both these guys tune my car and Mike at MDR has done things with my car that I did not know were possible with a stock ECU. It seems like every time when I would get my car tuned by Hellcat he would run into a problem and have to call Mike at MDR. Mike will take his time and all day if necessary to work on my car plus he has a shop as well. PM me if you have any questions.

it wasn't the tune. i took the car to the dealer to diagnose it and they told me the turbo outlet fitting was bent. so they are going to repair it. I didn't know that could make the car bog that bad when on throttle I hope thats the problem.

Turbo outlet fitting?

if the j-pipe is bent... perhaps there is a nasty boost leak. The escaping metered air would cause a rich condition and explain the stumbling and bogging on throttle.

The dealer is going to rape you on this though...

they charged me 200 bucks for the service and 50 dollars for the part. The bogging is gone. It was really bad before.

Yep, boost leak. $50 for the part? I would think the elbow would be more than that. Wonder if the just replaced the coupler.
