Couldn't they squeeze another 10hp out of it? 400 sounds so much better!

How much did it have before?
Be interested to hear how you find it.

Yes more than another carWould it be rude to ask how much?
Not all was to do with the upgrade, new rad fitted,new fuel tank, issues taking the car apart etc

When Courtenay started doing stage 4 upgrades, there was (as I understand it) an unaddressed problem in that when the throttle was feathered, the turbo would continue to boost causing back pressure on the turbo/flutter. This was caused by the fact that the throttle is fly by wire as opposed to a mechanical (wire) connection) and the ECU was not able to catch up quickly enough with what was going on with the throttle. I had to install a top hat with a take off to a Forge bleed valve which in turn has to feed back in to the air intake after the AMM so no air is lost to the system, otherwise again, the ECU would be confused. On cars like yours, how is the problem addressed these days?

Sounds like a fairly typical problem with a vent to atmos dump valve on a setup with a MAF. You cannot dump already metered air, and expect things to behave normally.
That's not a DBW or any throttle problem

Does this problem occur with this stage 4 and a Garret turbo?
My car does not vent a dump valve to air it has a recirculation valve but can flutter away happily and throttle modulation is not great at times.
I always presumed the problem was some kind of pressure feedback loop?
