Thanks for all the responses everyone.

Grrr, i just went out again, just to see if i was high or something the first time, but I'm still at 10 seconds. I must have a boost leak i guess. I'll have to check it out sometime this week.

Have you upgraded your diverter valve?

Funny you say that. No, I haven't upgraded it yet. I only got the chip a week ago, and the tuner said I could try out the chip for a while, and if i wanted to keep it, then bring it back in to get the DV upgraded.

I'm not sure that's it though, because it feels the same today, as it did the day I got it flashed. Also, when i'm accelerating, i hear the turbo 'whistle' as it spools up, and then i hear the 'woosh' as i let off the gas (i'm assuming that's the DV). So everything sounds normal.

But yes, the first thing i'll do is get the DV replaced.

pretty hard to take driver's error into account when it's an automatic.

I know how u feel. im in the 10 sec. range also but i have APR. If you take out all the crap in your car including the red reflector attached to your trunk, your extra wheel and maybe some other stuff, you can get in the 9 sec range.

Im pretty sure i have a boost leake because i rarely spike higher then 14 and psi rapidly decreases to 10psi. just havent had enough time to check it out.

sounds like both scotts custom and rckks96 have boost leaks. you would notice the boost leak if you had it, you would hear more air rushing out than normally and there would be sub-par power (especially after 3-4k) when i had my boost leak i ran 8-9 second 0-60's and now i run high 6's

high sixes is pretty damn respectable in a 3500+ lb car. what mods do you have?
