Talking Getting chipped on the 20th

Hey guys I just got off the phone with AWE-Tuning and they said that they can chip my car on the 20th. I was going to have it done today but they are very short on staff because one of their employees is having their wedding today and half of the shop is gone.

I'll let you guys know how the car runs chipped

Probably not a good idea to have it chipped when they're hung over. You will be pleased with the GIAC.

You won't believe the power and that awesome torque.
Enjoy.

I got mine chipped a month ago and I love it. So much more power, and the torque is unbelievable.

Sweet I just hit 85mph in 3rd today over a bridge (it was 10 minutes ago so it was empty so no I wasn't being an idiot I even did a pass before I actually ran it to make sure there were no imperfections in the road) and I love the torque coming from first after you get to ~3K rpm. Can't wait for this chip.

In addition I always let the car sit idle for ~2 minutes after pushing it that hard because apparently it lets fresh oil circulate into the turbos or something.

Well, it keeps the turbos from being starved of oil. If you shut it down while the turbos are still spinning fast, they have to slow down with out oil, and its fresh oil that they are spinning down in at that if you let it idle. Kinda the same idea as shutting off your ac a few min before you shut the car off. Its always good to do that, keep your turbos alive as long as possible.
