I had a soldered in chip. It used apr 3.0 software, not 5.0. This software gave me many safe mode occurances. I played with diverters, K75, N75 nothing fixed it. Eventually I blew my turbos during a bad launch.

I strongly suggest, you have your stock chip soldered back in and have it flashed with the true 5.0 for the allroad. APR reflashed me at n/c.

I don't think there is anything wrong with your hardware, I'm not a fan of the original allroad solder chip software. It does produce higher boost (2 bar spikes are possible).
