Default Basemap almost undriveable

I installed a turbo on my car and bought a Phearable chipped ECU with basemap. The car is almost undriveable. I cant get it tuned for a few weeks and have to drive to school. It idles fine but in between shifts and giving it gas it cuts out and is absoluty terrible to drive? Is their something wrong with my base map or is this how a basemap is?

Perhapse the issue is something else besides the basemap.
Do you have a wideband installed in the vehicle ?
Are you throwing any codes ?

Are you running low or high impedance injectors ?
Are you running a resistor box ?

What map sensor are you running ?
What map sensor was the ecu mapped for ?

Without a wideband installed in the vehicle it is difficult for us to remotely determine what air fuel ratios the vehicle is running which maybe contributing to your issues.

What size injectors do you have ?
What was the full name on your order ?

You and hundreds of our customers have never had issues, however there are instances where issues may occur with a basemap. Generally we have seen the issues when a customer installs something incorrectly such as a map sensor, resistor box etc.

Zachary,

I just looked up your order, everything looks to be correct. 450cc injectors etc.

I will private message you with a possible temporary solution until you can visit your local tuner for further diagnoses.

Thank You,
