Psykotune question

OK sooooooo when I am in second reving pretty good (2-4K) and i got to make a left or right turn...I give some good gas to fele the whip feeling....


But for some reason the car seems to bog slightly. ill hit 15 lbs of boost(not stepping on it fully) and my exhaust get loud(Catless DP)

but It does not feel like the car will move on a turn that quick. As soon as I am out of the turn and gas it a little more. the Tune Kicks in

Am I in need of some chargepiping?

I have an intake, Catless DP and Psykotune.

Mine kinda does the same thing and I attribute it to the fact that after tuning the car seems to become much more sensative to throttle input. IE comes into boost sooner. Mine does it only in the upper gears though, 4th and 5th at high engine loads like up hill or giving it throttle around a corner.

Maybe his torque managemant is not removed. The ECM senses steering angle and reduces torque output while cornnering so you cannot accelerate as well.

That is ok just get better ones next time. Dunlop Sport Z1 Star Specs. Bridgestone Potenza RE-11s or Yokohama Advan Neovas. Just dont burn those off they are pretty pricey. Tons more grip than the stock tires though.
