so i recently installed a new trans and turbo everything works great.... but i noticed that going along every so often i will hit the skiny pedal and it seems really boggy even with stock tuning sometimes. I will put it to the floor and it seems like it doesnt want to go then randomly decides to get with it... i have efi live no codes so far but its really random... changed fuel filter still does it and its not turbo lag lol ... any thoughts?

What is involved with the transmission and what kind of turbo?

you are describing turbo lag at its finest. it could also have something to do with too much fuel being injector down low. Who tunes your truck?

the reason i know its not turbo lag is it doesn't do it all the time if it were turbo lag it would be a constant thing annd always be doggy in the low end this is definatly a fuel issue i think still trying to figure it out though

what do you have for fuel upgrades?

also check your harness unplug and reconnect on both the engine and ecm side could be something stupid like that. i had a simualr problem a while ago. and it was also the cause of my last issue as well
