    Hi!

    2 years ago, I installed a Vortech V2 on my '01 GT with a BA-2400 MAF, Focus pump, 42 lbs injectors and Anderson 4" boost pipe. The car was tuned by LaSota Racing. Everything was really perfect, I couldn't even notice the supercharger when daily driving.

    I then recently installed a BAP because the duty cycle of my Focus pump was reaching 100% above 5800 RPM. The connections are based on the "SCT way".

    Now, the car doesn't run all that well anymore.
    1) When I rev it multiple times without any load, the engine skips and isn't linear at all.
    2) On hard accelerations, when shifthing / without load, it also sometimes skips for half a second. Everything is back to normal on load.
    3) My wideband now shows laggy numbers. Ex.: at WOT from 3000 to 6000 RPM, the A/F ratio looks like this:
    3000: 14
    3500: 13.5
    4000: 13
    4300: 12.5
    4500+: 11.8

    From what I remember, prior to the BAP installation, the A/F ratio was at 11.8 as soon as the car would hit boost.

    PS.: I also did a few other things that could cause this skipping issue, like changing the spark plugs or the mid pipe. It's not necessarily the BAP.

    Any idea? :(
    Thank you,
    Yan
