I don't think that's a tuning issue but more likely when your fuel pressure ramps up due to peak boost around 4k rpm you have a fuel leak. Check your fuel pressure regulator, your lines, and most importantly your fuel injector seals. You can loose a cylinder if you have a fuel leak at the fuel rail.

^^^ even this noOb has seen engines/pistons from this circumstance.
isn't it amazing how many issues can be at least partially attributed to mechanical stuff...??? no wonder you protuners tell us to double-check our engines/vacuum lines... learning my lesson... |

good advice. i only thought it was something regarding to the ecu because it started happening as soon as i got my ecu back from hydra. i sent it there to get reflashed to 2.17 and as soon as i got it back it started making the smell so i figured it was because of the box. but i will look at those items you listed. thanx phil. |

Many people damage the rubber fuel injector seals when they do the swap.
