Ok,,so just got back from the shop and what happened was I over boosted and went on limbo mode,,apparently those K3 can't boost more than 12lbs,,,so I'm guessing upgrading turbo,,manifold,,is next to do,,only problem I see is that I'm not sure if I upgrade the turbo will my ECU go on (boost limbo) again

Chip = reflash. They K03 can easily exceed 12psi but your computer won't let it continue to do so unless you're tuned for it. It's part of the safety mapping of the car. APR, GiAC, SpeedTuning, etc are all good. If you have bigger build plans, pick one that will update your programming for a nominal fee. No manifold change is necessary - an elim kit uses the stock mani and can get you in the neighborhood of 300hp. All the new owner sticky threads up top will enlighten you to this stuff. Dig in and you'll see what to do and how to do it right.
