Low power or Sluggish in Touring mode

[Tntempest]

Hello,

I have a new to me 2013 rxt 260, with 70hrs. If you run the ski in touring mode it just bogs off the line and every so often it can be made to run normal. Once it gets on plane its more likely to run normally. I have no trouble codes or check engine lights. If I put it in sport mode it seems to run perfect, full boost from a start.

At first I thought it was the supercharger slipping, but that makes no sense since it runs well in sport mode.

I am inclined to believe the throttle body is sticking or not functioning properly, but I don't understand how I dont have a trouble code. It even seemed to rev up or stick on it's own with my hand off the throttle. Very scary situation.

Does the sport mode send more voltage and that's why it seems to work in that mode?

Can I get the cheaper ones off ebay and not have to reset the computer or what does everybody suggest?

Try taking the hose off of the throttle body and see if there is water in there. Do you run in salt water?

I took the hose off and it looks brand new Inside, no signs of water coming from the intercooler. I went ahead and ordered a cheap ebay throttle body to rule that out. I am now more inclined it could be the hand throttle as it may be sending the wrong signal and the computer may just be enhancing that for sport mode. I just dont see how I cant have an error code if it's the other way around. If the hand throttle was correct and the the throttle body was not opening like it should I should easily have a code at the level of no power I have.

It could be the throttle body needs to be calibrated, was it better in touring mode before this started to happen? Are you using the same key as before? There is a learning key for these that makes it perform different power curves.
