MT.net's hate of bandaids and piggybacks is almost legendary.

However, I can tell you I am certain it is related in some way to your ECU. Do you have a datalog (And something we can use to view it!) of when it does what you are talking about? As an example, a temperature or MAP sensor reading incorrectly could cause the ECU to pull enough fuel to cause it to do what you are talking about.

Honestly, he's right. Piggybacks at the OP's level of modification may as well have the OP pissing in the wind in trying to track this issue down.

And you should at least install some kind of heat shield between your rubber lines + the brake master and the turbo.

And put an air filter on the empty nipple on the driver's side of the valve cover.

And...

Oh man, you got bigger problems to be worrying about than an ECU. Smack your brother and make him clean his ---- up.
