he doesnt know because he doesnt have a boost guage.

thats why i said get a boost gauge. and i think his car was flashed. no swapping..

im extremely confident its just some stupid vac hose thats loose or has a hole in it.

especially check the 710N

well I tried to make the point that this (lack of performance) was happenining BEFORE i ever installed the 710n dv. I was hoping we could treat this as a different case and see if anyone else would come forward who have had the same problem because I'm positive the vac lines are good, I've checked.

Dumb question, but what gas are you running or using?

And like stated above try unhooking your battery.

I'm using 93 octane. I am getting a falt code about power... but my battery level says it's at 12 volts(?) half way...

I got flashed last month & am running pump gas with stock as a back up, & immediately noticed a improvement even under non boost, the engine just felt a little smoother. When the price of gas is down, I'll put in Sunoco 94, & it feels a touch even better than running 91 octane. Definitely going with larger injectors ( with the proper program of course) & exhaust in the spring.

Does your battery light stay on? Becuase your voltage should be up or a little past 14v. However, I really doubt that has anything to do with your chpping problem.

i used to have the same idea with the apr 93 oct chip. first make sure your chip is on. if it is drive it around for few weeks, i mostly felt it on the torq then the horsepower but anyways drive it around for few weeks. then turn the chip off go back to stock, you see the difference. night/day
