anyone notice any slower feeling after a couple of months, I know that its not just getting used to it cause my roommate who never drives it says that it feels slower. Especially at lower end, doesnt have that holly **** feeling anymore, any suggestions?

Or remove the ecu...and then put it back in...do throttle adaptation...download...and then try it out in chipped mode again. Are you using decent gasoline. Gasoline CAN affect performance. We now have crappy 91 octane stuff here in California...my car doesn't like it a bit.

the car is a 2000 Imola, It was killer fast at first, the guys at APR said that the boot under the Bi-turbo cover is prone to getting small rips which screws up boost but I dont hear anything abnormal. Altho I have always had a pretty definative whistle from the turbos from the start.

If you have alot of oil/greasy residue around the passenger BPV, under the throttle body boot, on the passenger side of the throttle body or the forward most intake runners is very dirty, you have a possible bad F-hose. WHen I fixed mine, my car alot stronger.
