Everyone else I have found that is having an issue with the kit is related to basically a flat spot in the tune that causes the engine to flutter several times between 2000-3000rpm under moderate to heavy acceleration. They are still working the issue and I'll update the post as soon as I hear anything else. If your issue isn't resolved by checking all the connections then I would reach out to DINAN. They have been very helpful and forthcoming in assisting with my issue. Good luck!
I haven't had the issue you described. My SA did say he has seen lots of issues with Dinan lately. It could be because of their move to the new location. But anyway I didn't try it in bypass mode. My dealer will just work with Dinan to get this fixed if I want to keep the tune, which I am still deciding as I really don't want to deal with any Dinan issues in the future or risk voiding my factory warranty.
