Installed Icebox and have problems.
i just installed the icebox yesterday and now i'm left scratching my head. when i accelerate, it really feels bogged down. i have already driven it for about 2 hrs. so the ecu should've already read the change. after the last spin this morning, i got back home and it really started doing this noticeably bad idle that u could see on the tach and hear the muffler sputtering.
one thing i do know i didn't do is replace any coolant. i spilled quite a bit but then the radiator looks full. all connections have been triple checked. your advice is appreciated.

sounds like you have a vacuum leak ...your idle will bounce in the ecus effort to control the idle rpm...i would check things like make sure there was no packing meterial left in the cone,and that all the lines are re connected if all else fails try the idle learn procedure

A vacuum leak wouldn't nessesarily cause an issue under load. Normally it is just at idle or high vacuum situations. Under load there should be close to no vacuum.

has anyone else experienced their car shift before redline between 1st and 2nd? normally on WOT, it would reach the redline, but now it just reaches 6,500 rpm.
