Hmm, that is interesting.... clean the MAF, make sure all the couplers are tight and there are no leaks... tuning has nothing to do with it!

I would bet a leak is occuring in the couplers and/or dirty MAF from install/oiled filter. Start there

If it's over-oiled, yes. Most of the time though, they don't come from the factory over-oiled.
