3.3- more CEL's and now shudders.

Yeah that sounds like something a bit deeper than just the mods. Overboosting is something you will have to contend with with either enough breathing mods, or if you touch the primary cats. EWG wires with the JB4 or an ECU tune would address that. The rest of it...eh. I'm guessing you already ruled out an exhaust leak? That could make AFR go wild which could then lead to the loss of power and maybe a few other things...Speaking of, did you also check the JB4 fuel wire connections? Just a few thoughts but if you've already got it with a shop you trust I'd say they ought to be able to figure it out.
I did, they did. I purchased the interconnect kit for the fuel lines on JB4, the connections are solid. Hell,, they found an issue with the threads on the turbo that KIA pulled off (no bearing on current issue). The car is not liking the tune in conjunction with added boost and increased air flow. Have to figure out what exactly to turn off (codes).

Eer, wat? All that stuff slapped on, and then you say,

And the forums are somehow remiss?
So in your lack of response or even caring, you take the current social path of just canceling the idea? Be a big guy in a forum with now input? Nice!
 
Enough id say. Why can't peeps just focus on what the issue is posted. Why troll? Don't like me, don't care. Figure out potential issues with your stinger is probably very beneficial.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
I really don't want to regret buying her.

Thank you,

Take all of that aftermarket stuff OFF and you'll have "her" back. Just a suggestion. Then, go slow modding. Just another suggestion.
 
Bro you only waited like 2.5hrs for a reply lol

Going by your first post, your Stinger's stock turbo melted, and then you immediately jumped into modding the car? You didn't want to wait in case another issue with a stock part would arise? You're risking your warranty with those mods.

Hope everything works out, though.
You right, I bought it all in preparation. 4g63's didn't scream with the mods I have now. I went I thinking it was just the basics. My better halve knew I should have let it cool off. But I went the route with Evo (different generation of tuning then). Yes. you are correct, patience was not on the list.

I am, now pulling it all off. Unfortunately. The creature comforts are easily worth the loss in power verse a check engine code in limp mode.

Yeah, I would check for any exhaust leaks or vacuum
leaks. I recently dealt with a whole bag of issues with installing downpipes, issue was o2 sensor spacer and exhaust leak.
