It pretty weird. You should have a least notice a difference. I mean its about 40 hp and 80 lb tq. Are you sure the chip was installed correctly? Also you get the more gains after 3000 rpm because the thats when the turbo starts really spooling...

No you should not have gotten revo, If you like revo you need to get apr, its there software basiclly. GIAC and APR are the best there are right now, there about the same im speed wise, ive had them both. There is something wrong with you car if u didnt feel big gians.

i guess i spoke too soon[sm=bustedsign.gif]

i have been driving it for 3 days with the factory dv

my 710n was here when i got off work, swapped that baby out and what a differance that made[sm=gears.gif]

i had suspected from the day i bought it the factory valve was worn out. 62,000 miles on it

sorry i wasted bandwidth with a invalid complaint.

Actually you might have helped somebody out, proving that you should replace the stock dv when you chip!
