Hi,
I have this issues where the engine struggles and stutters on boost at midrange, anywhere from 3500-4000rpm, mid to high throttle, running MHD and their OTS "Stage 2+" map and I am running out of ideas - maybe someone has some insights before i throw in the towel.
I have already replaced the ignition coils to new Delphi units, 2nd set of plugs - had NKG 97506, switched back to OE Bosch gapped down to ~.025, fuel pressures seem ok, no codes from the ecu.
The car: 2011 135 with DCT trans, stock pwg turbo, running on 91 octane
The mods:
Injen intake, intercooler with charge pipes, catless downpipe
GFB metal diverter valve (no 2ndary spring)
*catch* - i have done some light headwork, only blended in the valve seats and cleaned up the ports, nothing crazy.
Logs - 2 short pulls, one 2nd gear, one 2nd to 3rd, you can see how choppy the rpm curve is:
I am not a fan of all these OTS tunes, but want to make sure I am not missing something simple before i go spending money on a real tune.
