    Dinan BBTB Rev Hang, CEL

    What's up all,
    I installed a Dinan BBTB+CAI not too long ago, everything was good when I just had the CAI but ever since I installed the BBTB the car has been rev hanging like crazy with a periodic CEL for the throttle valve potentiometer. Before doing any mods (besides exhaust) I got a burble tune which retards ignition timing and adds a little fuel on decel, I heard with some burble tunes people had rev hang issues but with my car the revs always dropped instantly. However now it takes ages for the revs to drop and it's almost impossible to shift smoothly which is driving me insane. If I reset the CEL the car drives fine minus the rev hang, however if I hold light throttle for a while the light will come on and then the car will start to accelerate really shakily. Is this just something I'm gonna have to deal with until I get the Dinan tune or does anyone know of any temporary fixes I can do? Thanks in advance

    Update in case anyone's interested; got the tune and the car runs beautifully now.
