Default Issue after MREV + 5/16 iso copper spacer install

I installed the mrev, IMG, copper tb heater and 5/16 spacer.

The car seems to run rough now, but it still accelerates fastly, i can feel the power from the new mod.

It just seems to be rough around takeoff- i feel alot of pedal vibration, is this normal?

Coated gasket with oil
Oil filler rubber not pinched between plenums
all bolts were torque to proper specs and in proper order.
I do not see any vacuum leaks

Input would be appreciated

Did u reset ur ecu ? All that intake modification will drastically effect that. Do the official ecu reset and idle air procedure and it should go away within 10 minutes of driving.

I always unplug my ecu while installing anything.

After further reading it seems i may not have enough clearance between my plenum and strut bar, i will check it later

might be your strut bar hitting against your intake manifold. Had this happen to me, checked to see if the strut was knocking against and sure enough it was. Felt like the car was driving like **** before i went and loosened it and made sure the spacers were on correctly.
