Default Giac chip then a few problems

Got my giac last week. Def felt power. But now my engine light is on and not as much power? Maybe running to lean or rich. Boost leak. Idk. Hoping someone could help

Its hard to guess over the internet. Get your codes pulled and then come back

^ x2. Auto Zone will do it for free and so will Pep Boys, but only if you have their rewards card.

im telln ya man change ur plugs. run ngk bkr7e gaped at .028 they are a colder heat rateing so this might help you clean up your lean problem. do u have a boost gauge yet can you notice a drastic loss in power. now you deffently need to replace all of your vacuum lines.

you are more than likely in limp due to the lean code... get plugs, get a guage and come see us in the morning

Do I honestly need a gauge? Im getting the plugs tomorrow and hopefully getting all the vaccum lines checked. I don't think Im in limp cause It's like Im back to my original power before the chip kinda. Im getting a new Turbo inlet pipe later this weak as well, thought that might also be a good idea

P.s._What size vaccum hoses do I need. Ill order some silicone ones as soon as I have the size
