Surge could be a vacuum leak. What is your idle AFR? Different than normal? ---

I was thinking a vac leak as well. I just need to do some better testing. You guys have any sweet smoke machine or something at the shop? A/F at idle is about 14:1 when it starts to surge it bounces lean. It is very possibly a tune issue as well. ---

No smoke machine. You can do a boost test and use a soap/water solution in a spray bottle which will bubble when air is leaking. ---

How much of a weight difference is there between this and the FD ? 31xx is pretty good for a car with this much power and torque ! ---
