I know exactly what you are talking about! It only happens to me about 5% of the time and it has to be under hard gas pedal input but I know the sound and the feeling. However I do not have an intake but I do have johns tune. It happens so rarely that sometimes I think I'm just bogging the engine down and its the driver not the engine. Hmmmm

In summary, if I try to open the throttle quickly from a low rpm state, like rolling from 5mph in 1st gear, the car builds revs slowly and begins to bog and jerk near 2000 rpm. It sometimes gets better, and I usually have to let go of the throttle. Progressively opening the throttle is okay.

I haven't had a chance to contact John about this since I know he is a busy man. I can't say for sure if it's related to the tune or the intake, or both because I'm not usually in a situation where I need to floor it from a really low rpm state.
