Hmm.  Good info on how TIP works.  I didn't log it, but I will now.

I live at 6300' in Lakewood, CO,  but spend a lot of time going up and down the mountains over 10k'.

I thought the 2011 and 2012 F-150s had mechanical BOVs with electronic solenoid activation.  There's also a 3rd solenoid for the wastegates.  Regardless, the PCM has its hands in everything.

Any idea why the addition of a downpipe would make this so dramatic?

sweet! i'm in arvada but can often be caught cruising around in lakewood. keep your eye out for me!
anyhow, does this issue occur around town or only when you drive up in elevation? can't see the downpipes making any difference.

Nice! I work for Arvada Fire and I'm actually on duty right now!

Yeah the flutter happens anytime I go 3/4 throttle in the lower RPMS, 2000-3000.  Keep in mind my truck makes full boost at around 2500RPMs.

Wastegates are known to break springs and seals, but like AJ said it could all very well be the tune.  Or a combination.

When you log add "Desired TIP" , not "TIP"....I would look at MAP anyway more than TIP.

If desired TIP is smooth but MAP is fluttering then you probably have a mechanical problem....If your desired tip is also oscillating then the tune is probably making it do that

I was looking at the TIP boost vs TIP boost desired and the TIP boost is much higher and less smooth.  Previous logs show these as relatively close to each other. 

Would that indicate a mechanical overboosting situation?

Tip will be all over the place especially if the tuner uses the throttle to help control boost like the oem

Oh I see.

Well today I took the BOVs apart and checked for tears.  They're good to go.  I also checked for boost leaks by tightening clamps.  All the vacuum hoses look good. 

Reset the KAM and took it for a spin. No better.  Hmm.  Frustrating.  The new boost control and wastegate solenoids should be here in a couple days, so fingers crossed they help.

Well it's definitely related to the wastegates. I don't know the cause yet. I'm thinking the tune is not compensating for the decreased backpressure. My tuner is going to look into it.

I almost burned up my GoPro case filming this...

Shouldnt really have anything to do with back pressure.....i want to say your altitude has more to do with it....wastegates can do funny things if the tq is being commanded in a strange way ...its going to be really tough to figure out

Im not sure you can accurately blame it on anything at this point until you data log what desired tip is doing when the issue occurs....if desired tip is occilating then its just doing what its supposed to

I have found that high altitudes require alternative methods for torque/boost delivery...the normal mehods are not always the best way

I fear you are now starting to throw money at parts without proper justification....i thought you posted a log where desired tip is fluctuating....if thats the case then its likely not a hardware problem....something is telling the hardware to act a certain way

Curious, have you tried to return the truck to the stock tune and see if the issue persists?
