do you still have the OEM cats???

There is no limp mode on a S4, so that rules out anything but a clogged intake or exhaust, or major leak on the intake.

i would guess that because there is an increase in feul threw the feul filter that if there is a wall that it hits....its the secondaries not gettin any fuel thus adding a lean mixture......maybe???

i have a similar problem but is a hesitation after adding my rtek 1.7

Was the engine up to normal operating temp?
I notice if I get too aggressive with the throttle when the engine isn't totally warmed up, the secondaries just don't fire at all!
I feels like a hit an abrupt wall.
