Question Holding back

Just recently fitted a Blitz induction kit, eveything seemed well for about a week, but now it feels like its holding back when I floor it. It feels slow and judders slightly as if its trying. Did a search on forums for MAF and looked through that, but my idle is fine so could it be the boost solenoid??? If it is, where is it so I can give it a clean??

MAF

A quick diagnostic check will probably confirm it.

You can connect the black connectors together just near the green ones you just mentioned - Then switch it on and the Check engine light flashes - Dont know if you have done this already!!! If the light flashes about 50% on then 50% off there are no fault codes - If it flashes another then you need to read it.

Do a search on the net to find out what they mean.
