Cel
This sounds pretty serious, whenever the cel blinks then it is damaging to the cats. The most likely cause of this light is either improper spark plugs for the power or old spark plugs that need to be changed.

Do a boost leak test.. you never know what may habe been touched and or forgotten to tighten...

Nik told me to use the orange O rings that you took off of his car when you pulled the intercoolers off, but my local shop had already used the green ones that came with the new boost hoses that came with the new boost hoses that i got from Vivid.
do you think that could be the problem ?
thank you,

A blinking CEL means "I am misfiring NOW". That is why the bucking is happening also. I think that your spark plugs were at their end of life and putting on the bigger intercoolers aloud more air in which made your car misfire. More boost = harder to spark. A simple spark plug change should cure it. (For now at least)

There you go...drive it to the shop using NO boost and you should be fine. It is probably MAJOR misfires due to the extra amount of air you can now push in. Blowing the fire out, as they say...
