I just finished installing a new intercooler on my 2017 CTR. It's the direct bolt on.
On first start up the engine stalled, never did that before. At slow speeds the car seems to be sputtering till it gets up to higher RPMS.....is this normal or something I should check on?
Thank you...

I'm seeing this a lot now, lol...with mishi owners also. Seems like everyone with these issues didn't put something on just right and is causing a boost leak

When I had my issue, I didn't have sputtering. Although I did notice my engine cold cranked a smidge longer than normal. I retightened the bolts and have no issues.

Is it possible the ecu takes some time to remap the addition of the increased flow from the IC?

Would resetting the ecu after the installation prevent this from occurring?

Took it off this morning, found the o-ring not seated completely in the groove. Fixed it, put it back together runs like a champ!!! Thanks for everyone's help.
