Maybe thats what he's telling you, but several of us got stg.2 in the GB for the GB price. Either way, it's a good deal.

 

I have had a problem, I don't know if it's the chip, ecu, or something else, but the car will not boost right with MAF plugged in. Just unplug it and everything is fine.

 

then you have a bad maf.. you have 2 things you can do.. pick up MAF cleaner from AutoZone. and clean the sensor.. or replace the maf... i would try cleaning it first before u waste 100+ on a new maf

 

Well that's what I thought at first, but turns out the MAF is not the problem. I bought a brand new MAF and it's doing the same thing, no vag-com codes, no leaks, it's weird...

 

have you had your codes read and erased?

 

well you dont want to drive around with it unplugged you will run rich as hell and get horrible mpg

 

i was the one who posted the most about my stage 2 adapting to stock. and infact. it did. i boost leak tested my car and my gauge held 15 psi all day long, didnt budge down at all. but with the chip, i was only seeing 10-11psi.

I went back and got rechipped with stage 2 again. started the car, it went up to about 1500 rpms after it started (you know the rpms go up and then fall back down to idle), well mine never fell down to idle.. it just went up, then fell to 0 and died instantly.. tb adapated via key on and vag com.. at that time, we put the 1.1 chip into the car and worked right off the bat and havent had a single problem.

infact i love this chip. i wish it wasnt so rich, but because i have fuel to spare, i will just up the boost a tad via mbc. in 3rd and 4th under load i hit 17-18 most the time.. 5th i hit 20-21.

 

I just got the stage 2 AF special for 200 (ask for this!). I'm really impressed so far! It worked right off the bat.

 

Congrats. Nothing to not like about an additional ~50hp and gobs of tq! I don't know if my cat is getting clogged or what, but I notice slightly more lag with ST compared to GIAC, yet it pulls steadily all the way to redline whre GIAC blows it's wad down low and falls on it's face up high. Not sure which one I prefer, honestly.

 

Do you think that's the chip or the difference in turbos/engines?
