Read about this in HPI mag, problem is worse if you have a bigger turbo, should not really happen if engine is stock.

As you accelerate or rev, the butterfly in throttle body is open, once you let go of the accelerator the butterfly shuts. Due to the suction of air under acceleration, some of the air bounces off the butterfly and goes back through your a/f meter. This cools the wires in the a/f meter tricking the computer into thinking the engine requires more fuel, thus floods the motor for a split sec. HKS have a device to overcome this problem, not sure of the name.

Before doing anything, make sure the a/f meter is clean.

The ecu is programmed for a plump-back, this floods the motor for a split second, to compensate for the lack of air.

Best bet is to put the stock BOV on and test it. Could solve all your problems, and make your car more enjoyable to drive and legal.

    • Hahahahah, look, your not wrong 馃槀馃槀 and thank you brother 馃檹馃徏 jokes aside, I haven't driven the car in 6+ years and it's like I'm starting all over again, and furthermore the car is wayyyy more powerful and it's characteristics are night and day different now compared to what I remember. So I'm slowly easing myself back into the groove, the car is literally scaring me a bit tbh.....it feels like it has 200hp more than it does on paper and responds like a cammed Ls v8, and-some! 馃槄 every single bit of throttle pedal travel and input has instant response all the way to the floor, zero flat spots or labouring feelings, it's nuts. Im shooketh, go easy on me hahahaha or don't 馃馃徏馃槉      
    • If the house has ever been sold before too, they have photos from that etc.
    • I used to do that, but then I got savvy. The benefits of having your phone photos geotagged outweigh the negatives. I just don't publish any photo straight off the phone/out of the gallery/off google photos, etc. If I'm going to use a photo, other than for SMSing to fam, I will always open it on the computer, copy it/otherwise edit it and save down without the original metadata, before using it. For example, posting photos of my engine bay into a thread on here, to show someone a plug or something - I will just screen-cap the section I want to use and paste that section direct from the clipboard into the post. No metadata goes along with.
