Can you explain the sputtering more? Like is it hesitating? Or jumping?

I think you have the same problem i had. I couldn't figure out what the hell it was but it just went away on its own in my case. On mine it felt like i lost like 100hp. Maybe try reloading your tune. I couldnt find out what the it was for the life of me though i was so pissed. Did you check your COP's? I would try that and maybe change your fuel filter if you havent done so and go from there.
