During a cold start, the car runs great and I can punch the gas and everything is nice and crisp. As soon as the car idles down from the cold start, the idle starts to pulsate. The idle pulsates higher and higher until it goes over 1500rpm and starts fuel cutting. During any acceleration at all, the car bucks and will only make a few PSI of boost. Boost leak tested to 35+ PSI, so no leaks. I have ECMLINK tuning solution and the car will make 35 PSI (60mm turbo) on launch control, but will only make a few pounds of boost bucking and stuttering during any type of acceleration. What gives? I eliminated the coolant lines from water pipe to the FIAV and just looped the line on the FIAV. My buddy said I need to buy a blockoff plate, but I'm not sure this is causing my problem. Timing is on and double checked by an experienced DSM'er. Any thoughts?
