I had the same issue of stumbling under hard acceleration in the summer, then the frozen intercooler that winter, i have a winter front now and check the intercooler pipe every oil change.
Hard Start / No Start - Is your intercooler frozen? Check Here!

I'm thinking about a Kerma tune to help with this issue, in addition to the winter front. The tune cuts down on EGR, right?
I found a place 1.5 hours away that will do a delete and Malone tune, but the more I think about it, the more reservations I have about doing a delete.

I think the only way to totally cure the issue is a full delete.

It seems you are money ahead deleting vs trying to continue to fix this system. A road I am likely headed down with two of my diesels.

Even if it's not money-wise to do so, a delete is worth every penny spent to rid yourself of the hassle of dealing with all of the known issues.

Delete and malone stage 2 was the only thing to fix my 2013. The improved mileage quickly pays for the job, especially these days.
