It looks like your maf isn't bolted down correctly. This could be a contributing factor to your problem if the maf sits crooked or if there is a leak there causing turbulence. Next time the vsc light comes on see if you have a check engine light and see what codes get thrown. It could also be that your intake has a poor design where the airflow isn't smooth enough at the maf causing bad readings. This will throw off your AFR and make your car feel weird at part throttle. The car will learn and try to compensate but it's far from ideal.

Disc the battery before the installation, hook it back up after you finish, so the computer will re-learn ! always disc the battery if you work on any electric works

Before spending money verify that this is the problem. Reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery and then go do some full throttle pulls and some more aggressive acceleration at part throttle. If the intake is the problem you should get a check engine light and whatnot. Then go to an autozone and have them tell you what codes are being thrown.

I've decided to go with the Injen SP Cold Air Intake.

UPDATE: I got the Injen SP Cold Air Intake System. Installed it myself and it is running great. No lights have come on since I've installed it. Thank you guys for the recommendations!
