Default Car dies when I get on it.

I have a 97 C5 A4. I just got my A&A Vortech kit installed and tuned. Sometimes when I get on it about half or three qarter throttle the car will go into Recuced Engine Power mode and say service traction system. I shut the car off for a second start it back up and it runs fine but throws the P1571 or Powertrain indicates traction system malfunction code. The car does not do this at WOT, only at half to three quarter throttle. It does not do this all the time but it has done it at different speeds and in different gears.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Had the same problem on a C5. You need to raise the P0068/P1514 table. This table needs to be higher than your max cyl air. I would multiply the whole table by 2 to start with.

I just double checked and the car also threw the P1514 code.
