Engine shuddering when hard acceleration
Hello,
I am having a annoying issue with my scooby, after messing with my APEXI boost levels the engine started being funny with me so I changed everything back to how it was and unplugged battery to drain solenoids. Car ran fine but then started having issues after I properly drove it about, It was shuddering on hard acceleration almost as turbo kicked in. In my mind this is a fueling issue, I had recently filled it with 95 as I was desperately out of fuel and believed that the poor fuel quality may of caused this so I drained it and refilled with 97 but I feel like maybe in hindsight 99 would of been what I needed, my question is would 97 cause this problem or is it something else? Should I drain the tank and get some 99 in there? I was gonna go back to my mapper and get it reconfiged as I thought I messed something up but maybe thats not the case as it got better, fuel filter or sparks possible too? Any help or opinion is much appreciated. Current Specs:

The boost option; turned it up then turned it back down |
How high, if thats all you did it start by checking the plugs, easy and simple to rule out, also if you think its fuel the car may be running lean and the plugs will confirm this,
Do you still have the OE ECU, as from memory you cant read ECU error codes in Apexi, if im wrong please speak up as its a while since I had any dealings with a Apexi FC. |

What error did it give you failed to mention before?
And is there anything else you may have missed? |

Nah just the generic engine warning on the dash, only other thing to add is obviously im losing huge power up hills mainly, im hoping to drain the fuel and put the 99 in to see if thats the problem but when driving atm when driving im not daring to hit boost as its so jerky

I dont really know how to explain it its just the standard engine warning light on dash |
iirc the check engine light on an apexi ecu is utilized in a couple of ways. It can be used if a sensor is down plus it can be a knock light. If you look through the different menus you can also find the sensor which is dodgy iirc it flashes a black box around the readings. What car is it.
