Maggie tune cause steering issues??

I am not sure where to stick this, I created a thread over in the issue's thread. I would assume that the magnuson tune won't affect any of the steering? or just the fuel/engine part of it? here is what I said in the other thread. reason why I posted here also, is none of this was happening prior to the install.

.......

So after I added my supercharger, I had not driven it due to the weather,. It has been sitting under the blanket until today. I finally had a chance to stretch its legs and under 3 instances a warning message. I was pulling out of a parking lot, got the message and the steering wheel went dead. another is when I finally floored it and I got the message but about a second later it went away. The third is when I was going around the corner. lost the steering, then came back right away. This could easily cause an accident if I were not ready for it or in a bind somehow.
has any of you experienced this? I would assume this would be related to the charger install. but we did not touch anything with the steering, so not sure on that. could it be due to the tune? I would assume the tune has nothing to do with the steering.

If you're running the Magnuson warranted tune, there's no way it's the cause of your issue. If you have a custom tune...maybe, but I doubt it. You should immediately go to your local Chevy dealership and have them take a look, because that is VERY dangerous. You might consider having it towed there. If the steering condition threw a code, they'll find it and determine root cause.

That's a GM issue, its electric steering and has nothing to do with the tune.

Is this still a problem? You would think they would have fixed this.

The Cal cannot effect the steering system (different ECU).

Did you make sure the fuel line was properly secured to the firewall to prevent it contacting the engine wiring harness. Please see page 52 of the Magnuson installation manual and verify this step was performed correctly.

yeah did all that. I drove it around yesterday and didn't notice any more lights. (not that I'm throwing it to the side) but if it does it again. I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and take it to the dealer.
