Installed TBE

After the installation of a turboback last week i noticed last night that the car would "sputter" or buck a little bit when i really got on it. But, only when i was really on it. Is this to be expected from a car with only an exhaust and therefore no reflash? Everything i have read indicates that without a reflash its not as smooth a ride! througout the rpm band it was fine until higher up in 4th and 5th

Hmmmm, my car didn't start doing that until I installed an intake and 02 housing. I was hitting fuel cut cuz of the change in airflow but it could be happening to you cuz of the cold weather. A tune will fix the problem fo sure.

You are likely running too rich as you now are hitting different load cells than when stock....You really need to get a tune....

Your MIVEC mapping is not in sync with your spoolup and VE of the motor with TBE. Your ECU needs to be remapped.

Had car flashed about a month ago however, still having what appears to be the fuel cut issue. My buddy who flashed it was using me as the experiment...I believe he used ecutek? Now, he has tried to figure out how to alter this but hasnt been sucessful.

Spend the $50-$150 and get a flash from someone on here who's been doing this a while. That's your problem
