So what should I check for, before installing the chip? Are there any tests for boost leaks I can do myself? Do I need to take the car to a mechanic the get it checked before getting the chip, because my car seems to be in pretty good shape, except one thing I'm not sure about, when I rev the engine, and when I let go the gas pedal, and rpm starts going down I hear some kind of rattle, but it's not noticeable unless I open the window, and it's only when the rpm goes down, when it goes up it's fine.I can't figure where it's coming from, it doesn't sound like it's from the engine tho, sound like some metal shield is touching something and vibrating, I haven't had the chance to research it further because it's freezing cold outside, but I don't want to take it to a mechanic because it's probably something small, it's coming from the passenger side I think, but I'll look at it when it gets warmer. I hope that won't be a problem when I install the chip? or it might be? Any advise on that. And also, should I get the DV installed first, or after I get the chip? Thanks
its recommended you do the dv and chip at the same time. you can do the dv first with no problems, but if you do it after, the chip might tear your stock dv. some people have had their stock dv fail the same day as the chip, others have had no problems for months. it all depends on how good of shape the dv is in i guess. i would just do the dv now or when you get the chip.
if you want to check for boost leaks, theres a few links on how-to here- http://www.audidiy.com/b5a4.html
but i wouldn't go through the trouble unless you knew you had one. just get a boost gauge
