Talking Chips Installed, slight issue...

I got my chips installed today but I have a slight issue....I can't wipe this grin off of my face! Holy cow!!!! What a world of difference. The car is much quicker in the areas it needed to be and even in the areas it DIDN'T need to be. The chips have really brought the car to life. For those of you turbo folks who have not done this I question your brain cell count. What a rush!

PS: Thanks to Oshin and the guys at Shaverdi's.

I got guru chips and I think I am running 15psi (not sure though....Danno?).

I live on the NE side of Baltimore, East of Towson. If it wasn't for the humidity I would really love the area.

Glad to hear you like them... get an LBE or AccuBoost and you'll love it even more... let the addiction begin!

I failed to mention that I also had the 3bar fuel pressure regulator and the Reliaboost boost enhancer installed as well. I did not do the wastegate shims...yet.

you'll get use to it, then you will think somethings wrong cuz it doesnt 'feel' as fast.
Its a never ending battle, worse that crack.

Yeah....I have HP disease. This car (although MUCH faster than my old N/A) now does not feel fast to me. Guess that means new exhaust, turbo, fuel injectors, and MAP....

Have a blast with your new chips!!

I seem to have lost that tingeling, rollercoaster feeling I used to have when driving really fast cars. I've had the 951 for a few months and I think I lost it after a few weeks of ownership.
My wife says she gets that rollercoaster feeling when we hit 3500rpm, so I know the car is performing as it should. When I get my new wastegate installed I should see ~240rwhp. How much power do I need to add to get back the rollercoaster feeling?
