Rbembas, if you are running 91 I would highly suggest running some logs shortly after the tune adapts to make sure that the level of boost is running fine on 91octane.

I made a mistake I'm running 93 mostly Shell , but still I'll run some logs this
weekend. I did change the boost to 4.5 this morning, ran great just too much traffic here in Atlanta this monrinig to run it.

Nope, you might want to check the connections to make sure something isn't loose. To stash the piggy box where the site shows is quite a tight pull to get it overthere. I usually go in and squeeze the plugs every couple weeks to make sure nothing is coming loose.

Running 93octane exclusively and the car has been CEL free for over 1200 miles with plenty of full throttle/redline shifts.

Is the malfunction consistent or did it just happen once?

sounds like theres an issue with the car. Could be your fuel pump going etc..

I'd remove the tune and let the dealer fix it.

Exactly, remove the tune and see if you can replicate it tuneless. If not, it could be an issue with the tune.

Thanks guys will do that this weekend. My service tech did tell me that there are issues with the fuel pump and tested it about three weeks ago when I had my car in for 27000 check up. Everything was okay and they didn't know that I've been running a tune. I did take it off before I took it in, they never mention drive train malfunction that stage two caused.
