It seems some folks have had issues with motor mounts being melted, all the exhaust heat is on the passenger side and so are the passenger side motor mounts.

Is the whole car shaking, or is the steering wheel bouncing back and forth.
I feel it start to rumble on the right side. and I hear a pop every time I start it coming from the right side

You should probably just go visit whoever tuned your car at this point. If you can't diagnose it, and no one here can diagnose it; it'll end up being a more expensive problem down the line if you DON'T get it fixed professionally.

That's great news. Even if they charge you 100 for the diagnosis it's still a bargain compared to the potential costs that could result.

You could try to troubleshoot it yourself and fix it yourself; but if you break anything it's going to cost a lot more and you're out of warranty due to FI. I noticed in an earlier post you were worried about tuners not knowing how to fix/diagnose it because it's a new vehicle; fortunately the twins have been around for a couple years so it's not exactly that new.

You might not trust a tuner with a brand new platform... but do you trust yourself to fix and diagnose it over someone who is a professional in aftermarket tuning?

The kid has seen no CELs. My guess is the motor is absolutely fine and this is something mechanical that has broken or was messed with during the AVO turbo kit install.

Guys it stopped? Could it have been the 93 with 10% of ethenol kicking in? I mean, Before, I put in straight 93 octane.

Then drive it like you stole it. The ECU will pop a CEL and tell you if anything is wrong with the motor.

It came back again... The revs do not change while popping though... Could it be a problem?
