Default Sputtering after injector Swap

so I just swapped out the injectors on my 8.1L. It now has 60# siemans, getting ready for the turbo in a couple days. I am saving a little extra cash to get a Black Bear custom tune, but dont have the $$$ at the moment, so i had the people at DiabloSport make me a custom tune for the injectors and turbo. So I loaded the tune and it started right up. But when you come down off of any more than idle RPM's, it sputters and almost dies. It has died a couple of times. Is it in the tuning, or something else. The truck runs smooth, but is missing alot of power, maybe just cause I am running a tune made for boost and it isn't seeing any boost yet.

I doubt it has anything to do with boost. 60 pound injectors are not the easiest to get to idle, I think your idle issue will go away once you get a better tune.

if it's tuned for boost though and your not running any, it will run pig rich

A boost tune will have NO effect on idle

a goodboost tune.

they may have not scaled the injectors right. there is no telling what they did. did you ask them what exactly they changed in your tune.

kinda confusing, my bad I meant under driving conditions and not so much at idle as far as running rich.
