Is this something new you just start experiencing or it has been happening sense day one of the TT install, Any changes made to the car recently ?

ive had the same issues recently and it only happens when the car is really hot at the track and I turn it off and on multiple times. Same exact desciption as you OP and doesn't happen all the time either.

It MAY be fuel related?? If you give it a little throttle it'll fire right up. No SES (CEL) and readings are all good on OBD2 (cipher) interested to see what comes out of this.

The only new addition is the manual boost controller, but I've experience this sputtering at least twice the past few months. This past week it happened 2-3 times. When it happens it cranks, the engine barely turns and dies for a brief second, sputters up like an old muscle car, and then idles like normal with no hiccup. The starter doesn't struggle or run continuously, so it sounds normal. Basically it's a rough start.

I tried to reproduce it tonight since it's pretty warm today, but it was fine. Car just starts up and idles around 700 RPM. Since the turbo install I don't notice the car briefly revving up on a cold start.
