Got to say I'm very impressed with SSTT - especially with Tesco 99 fuel and the K&N drop-in.

With regards your issue, I'd take your car back to Evolve. Most tuning companies offer so-called "updates". It may be that the cold weather we are currently experiencing is effecting how the flashed ECU responds to throttle openings on/off boost. For example, I know JB3 v1.2 has been updated to reduce CEL (check engine light) codes which occurred with a lot of users during the cold weather in the US.

Just my 10 pence worth. Other than that could be many things, fuel pump, poor octane fuel or loose intercooling plumbing.

Mad.
Just curious to see if you think the dealer will detect that you have added the SSTT when you take the car in even if you have removed it?
