Having a weird issue I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced. Car is a 14 GT with Vortect V3 kit for reference.

Car started doing this recently and I am trying to chase down what it could be - basically on the 2-3 shift when I am WOT, the car will nose dive a bit, shift hard enough chirp the tires, and pick right back up. Right before the shift at 7000pm I can see the boost shoot back towards around 5psi - I'm on the stock 3.6 pulley.

All the IC pipes look good, no issues with the t-bolt clamps. The tial BOV is clamped down pretty tight, stock bov removed and blocked off.

I haven't tried it with it off yet, but I don't think the tires are on the verge of coming loose - Im running 305's out back at the moment on a conservative tune from AED.

That is your rear brakes. Advance trac fully off. Mine lays rubber into 3rd gear n/a. Have to shut the nannies off.

Ya, even with a conservative tune I bet that 2-3 shift would knock the rear tires off at wot on the street without the nannies.
