when motor is cold, car runs great! very peppy, turbo runs hard and fast.... after a few miles the car gets "bouncy"... Feels like the turbo cuts in and out. The car drags along like im bouncing the clutch in and out..

I dont have all HARDPIPING. Just INGEN CAI. Do i need to buy turbopiping?
Do i need to do the ECU Flash update?

no, im saying. it already has newest flash. and car still runs like this.

Temps were worm... 80-85. but it does it even at night/mornings in 55 temps...

id reccomend it.. sounds like you might have a crack in the piping somewhere.. it is plastic after all.. and when its hot it may be escaping easier..

YA thats my thaughts as well... looking at the hardpipe kits.. the kits seem really expensive for some 90 degree bent aluminum and silicon tubing couplers?? wow.

yeah it can be pricey but its worth it and buy the silicone couplers man i kicked my self when i gt the imitation rubber ones they kept blowing off you know what happens when your maf no longer gets a signal your car turns off while your driveing happend a few times to me.
