    ive been having the same problem for about a month now, so heres the situation i am in :

    got tuned down to a 3.5 inch pulley with plenty of mods to support the drop, got it tuned, 13* timing, 10lbs boost.

    while getting it tuned, i knew i had EGR problems, and i have a high flow cat, so i got the p0420 code deleted, since than my MPG has decreased from about 17.0 to 14.2 around town, i have NOT been pushing my car by any means, i let my car warm up for a few minutes since its cold here in NY, and than drive, i have replaced plugs,wires,BOTH 02 sensors, high flow cat has less than 10k miles on it and had a tune up about 10k miles ago as well. tried injector cleaner as well.

    More importantly, when my car is cold, id say the first 10 minutes of driving, if i try and boost, my car misfires and the light blinks, i actually hear it struggling, the RPMS jump around, but than after about 10 minutes my car will be fine, no misfires, when i had it scaned it was cyl 6 that kept misfiring, so what could this be, is this just one big problem?

    do not go into boost when the car is cold. the knock sensors are not turned on and youre letting the car actually knock without any protection. bad, bad, bad.

    what are your supporting mods? how is the tune other than WOT timing?

    knock sensors? and its pretty much fine when my cars warmed up, but its been getting worse and worse i feel like.

    13* timing, which i know is less than stock but my friend ran 12* and is fine on a 3.4, i have plog, intake, 3inchdp, tr55, 8.5msd
