I am not sure of what i am saying, but is it the gm supercharger reflash? If it is it may be a good start as a tune for a turbo charger but may not be fine tuned for this specific turbo. What is your AFR values?

However i don't know how different is the 02 fuel rail compared to the stock 03-05 one. It may be a fuel system problem. What is your fuel pressure? is stable or do you have any device that increase fuel delivery when boost go up?

Any other expert on here can help?

The GM reflash is utter junk and barely works for it's intended application. Get yourself a proper tune with some 42lb injectors and an AFPR.

My supercharged L61 ran a million times better once i ditched the POS reflash for a custom tune.

SRT4's are too short. NGK LTR6IX-11 are the proper length, but have to be re-gapped. LTR6IX-11s are one step colder and LTR7IX-11s are 2 steps colder.

Learn to tune yourself. It is a very good possibility that all your issues are because of the reflash.
