IMO NO f/i system should be mail order tuned..... Too many variables

Get a wideband and a real tune in that thing before you fry that motor and slag your turbo and you have a shiny pile of junk....

Mine did the same thing under certain conditions. I don't know if this will help.

I changed to a way cooler burning plug, gapped them at 32, changed the maf sensor, map sensor, and had it dyno tuned. That solved everything.

Good luck. Get it tuned

I agree. You don't want to mail order tune a turbo. It's hard enough to tune in person. There are way too many things that can cause problems.

Good luck.

the meth nozzle is about 12 inches from throttle body....well i called some places about dyno tuning...i think el paso is gonna be about my best shot. my buddys around here took there gto's and stuff out to arizona. but the shop in el paso says $295...that sounds good right...

When I first started tuning with meth it would go extremely rich and shutter like your truck. I'm not sure what's going on with your setup but an extreme rich or lean condition will cause the sensation that you are feeling. You need to get that thing tuned on a dyno ASAP.

That sounds good, but make sure that shop has tuned trucks like yours with a turbo and they know what they are doing. The only thing worse than fudging your chit up is letting someone else fudge up your chit.

Also, if it is a lean condition you need to get it tuned asap even if you do have to pay a little more.
