So today I installed my safc II. (I used the correct wires and triple checked wiring) after installing and setting every thing to 0% I got in the car to tune but I noticed once I started building boost It started sputtering and at 5psi It was backfiring like a s.o.b. So after that I decided just to take out the safc, now the safc is out and the car still is doing the same thing!
I re-tightend my ic pipes for boost leaks and its still running like crap
Help!
 
I was about to say it sounds like a lower intercooler pipe has blown off but, you've already checked it soo.. TO THE BAT CAVE!

Edit: Backfire = Unspent fuel = Ignition problem. MY $.02
 
did you make sure the black and brown wires are at least 3/4" away from each other and are soldered in the right position?

did you splice the right wire for a/f?

did you "initialize" ?

you probably have, so I'm going to bet it's not your SAFC giving you problems.
