Ya, mine does that sometimes too. Not sure at what rpm, could be around 4 or higher. Think it's lack of fuel, or, the ecu tune, or that damn ethanol in the gas.

Be sure that you both are using trusted, high-octane gas.

Should be fine....most retailers are honest. When you get a "bad tank" you will likely feel it. Modern fuels have a very short shelf life....then they start to degrade. Most higher volume retailers get delivery's every couple of days...so you should be fine. Just use caution in getting fuel from the tiny station, that sometimes has a GREAT price to empty their tank just prior to a delivery.
Name on the sign does not mean much...even the indepent stations often get their fuel from the SAME TRUCKS, THE SAME PIPELINES....they even buy the leftover fuel out of the name brand tanker trucks before they return for refilling...
So just just buy fuel from the places 99% of us buy fuel from!!
Just avoid that sketchy place you have noticed the fuel seems to burn to fast, or the car doesn't seem to run right from...or had to add some dry gas to or injector cleaner too...lol...think every town might have ONE or TWO kinda sketchy places!!

Any high-volume reputable brand gas station should be good.

Could you feel a difference with the dt bpv or did you do both mods at the same time?

When I did my DT BPV....I noticed that the boost "to-to" at mid throttle went away, it came into boost a little faster, and my MPG went down 1-2 MPG.
