Turbo "Coughing"
Rookie question. I just returned from a trip towing my 8K lb travel trailer. Changes since last time are Bullydog Tuner with IDP tunes, and 4" turbo back exhaust w/4" downpipe. EGT dropped considerably from previous trips and didn't reach 1300 on a very long steep pull. I was running the IDP Street Tune for under 10K lb towing. Something new happened though that I haven't had happen yet. The turbo seemed to "cough", or that is the best I can describe it. I seemed to do it after I let off the accelerator and RPM dropped (one time slowing down for the guy in front of me), and when I went to accelerate again it seemed to cough and shake and sounded like the turbo was puking or coughing. RPM came up and it went away. Happened a couple times during the long pull up the pass. One time I could feel a hard vibration through my foot on the accelerator and it was a slightly different sound, almost like a backfire or something. Turbo was just cleaned, I'm EGR deleted, Garrett Powermax turbo.
Any ideas? Didn't throw any codes and all temps stayed normal.
