get a pfc asap. How many miles on your engine? I wouldn't drive it till you get the ecu installed, and tuned. You'll blow your engine otherwise...

There is nothing wrong with running those mods on the stock ecu. You should have a boost controller though, to control boost to 10 psi.

What is your boost pattern during this bogging event?

Sounds like it's most likely an ignition problem. Maybe a bad coil pack that cuts in and out.

How many miles do your spark plugs have on them? Or even your plug wires?

I stand corrected then... I figured with all those mods, plus having a ported motor and all other mods, he had to have been running in excess of stock boost. But he seems to say that he is at stock boost... weird.

Rynberg knows best...I'd listen to him and make sure your boost is at stock level!

Well in your mod list it says "port motor". Is the motor streetported?? Although the rest of the mods would be fine on the stock ECU, im not too sure about the port work. If the motor is streetported the stock ecu cant change the timing to compensate for the larger porting and you should get a standalone ECU and a good tune as soon as possible.
