Bad hesitation

Hey I am having a problem with my wrx. I am having a really bad hesitation at 3800-5000 rpm. I was just forced to put in sti tgvl-ess housings due to a bad oem one. I have an uppipe, down pipe, cat back, and modded silencerl-ess intake. The car takes off at 5k rpm and seems to pull to redline now. Is this normal behavior, and do I just not have enought turbo to push throught them???

That sounds pretty odd.

Maybe your bad oem housing caused the ECU to pull back timming alot in that range.

I guess you could try pulling error codes then reseting the ecu by pulling the battery for like 5mins.

th battery was disconected for 24 hours or so while i did the work in my spare time. codes are for the tgvs only. circuit missing codes, will they screw up performance. i had a stuck open code for 4 months before i fixed it and it never hurt performance?

I gotcha, the fix should be fine. (2.2k resister i think)

Is your boost normal? I only ask becuase you may have an exhuast leak.

Hope you get it fixed after this i'm out of ideas
