But do you see a change when you start having issues? You shouldn't have fuel cut issues with the 1.7. Are you using a piggyback to control the 1000cc injectors? You might be dumping too much fuel into the engine when the secondaries kick in.

I'm far from your setup. I'm basically stock, but still a 6-port. 3500RPM problems are typically OMP codes throwing the car into limp mode.

If you had a 6500RPM problem, I would say check fuel, tps, etc.

Do you still use your OMP or do you premix?

You have an S4 which does not throw a code for the OMP like the S5's.

Can you rev past 3500 rpm in neutral?
Can you slowly drive through 3500 rpm?

Thank you for the info satch. Not being an S5, there's not really much help I can provide.

You can create load on the engine, necessary to activate the secondary injectors, by unplugging the TPS and pulling the vacuum hose off of the Boost Sensor. When done you can free rev in neutral and once the 3800 rpm level is breached the secondary injectors will kick on. You can compare how it revs in neutral w/everything connected versus when under load. You also might have a clogged cat.

You can try regrounding the ECU sensor grounds. The easiest way is to tap into the Boost Sensor ground wire and run it to the engine block.
