When you ment shut off did it feel like there was no turbo at all (limp mode) or that it went back to stock settings (still turbo but only about 7 or so PSI boost)?

Its probably still adapting. Give it some time, like 3 weeks before you get freaked out by inconsistant performance.

is it boosting then going into limp mode?

I had a problem where my car was overboosting and going into limp mode. have you got them to check your diverter valve? it may be stuck open

i am experiencing the same thing with mine! i have had it chipped for about 10 months now... and it does it atleast once a week. and it will only do it at part throttle. if i'm in it full bore it will be fine. or keeping it in vaccum. but if i try to just drive at part throttle and put a load on it... then it slips into limp mode. i only spike like 9lbs and it will only hold 3-6. pisses me off but no one knows whats going on... checked everything.... i have an apr chip what chip do you want. and has anyone else had this happen to them. i have to drive it either a real light touch on the throttle or just smash it.

let me know please

thanks
bobby
