[QUOTE="Ellison3, post: 1828358, member: 57565"] That is correct… as I installed a Full Race Freak-O-Beast Intercooler, Full Race Oil Catch Can, and TurboSmart BOV on my truck. Oh yeah, it was previously tuned before that install. However, when the above items replaced the OEM equipment I did not have those issues mentioned. It ran ok… never really got on it to be honest. Was waiting to get re-tuned. What does sound familiar to me in your story is the sputtering under heavy acceleration. Had a similar situation on the highway while trying to pass. Pressed the accelerometer from approximately 65mph set on the cruise control. Well it was at the point I would get a flashing “Check Engine” light, surging/ bucking, and no “immediate” pedal response. Thinking quickly as I am in the middle lane of the highway with no escape route I put the truck in neutral, turn key to “OFF”, then to “Start”, shift back to drive. All good. Drive like normal. Until the next time I hit the accelerator WOT again. Time to research… found a thread that talked about saturated MAP sensors. Pulled mine… it was covered in all that oil, water, and fuel trash that comes through PCV/ exhaust system, and recycled to the intake. This trash coats that sensor, and confuses. Once it was cleaned with some CRC Mass Airflow Sensor cleaner it was re-installed… worked great!!! No more hesitation issues. Until that sensor got kicked up again. Did more research… ran across the intercooler; tapping a small hole for drainage (OEM intercooler, not my Full Race). A bunch of crap leaked out of it. That’s when I decided to do the oil catch can. It worked great. No more issues after it was installed. Then I did the Freak-O-Beast… it came with the TurboSmart BOV. At that point it made the oil catch can unnecessary. Since the BOV install I’ve not had any buildup in the catch can. Interesting… . Should’ve did this mod first, huh? Anyway… check that sensor to see if it’s dirty. Clean it. Drive it. As far as those mods with no tune installed you SHOULD be able to drive it normally without issues. I’ve got similar mods you have, and I was fine until I got the truck re-tuned.
