I'm being told the tip-in issue is mostly caused by the MAF and the large injectors (though I bet the added flow of the TGV deletes and heads don't help). Essentially, to handle the high-end of the power spectrum you give up low-end injector response, i.e. when you tip-in off idle, the injectors are running at minumum and can't modulate accurately enough, leaving a small hiccup. The issue's been tuned around, so I'm only getting a minor tip-in hiccup off a dead idle, instead of anytime I went off then back on the throttle, so it shouldn't effect me on track, and I don't really need a ton of driveability on that car. However, I'm probably ditching the BigMAF and possibly going to smaller injectors to lessen the issue.

Also, with all those bits and the tuning required for them, the ECUTek "fix" for the TGV delete CEL doesn't completely work... so I'm waiting on ECUTek to push a better fix that will work... unfortunately, they're all at SEMA this week.

What you have described sounds nothing like TGV related issues and more like incorrect injector on times and MAF scaling. I would suggest you start with confirming the injector on times are right for the injectors (assuming your using PE800cc injectors you need the on times changed significantly).

If your tuning this setup yourself hit me up offline I'll give you the base stuff I use.
