Well, there is both good and bad news with the chip.... Unfortunately I don't have a scanner but I may get one soon.
Bad news - I only got 177hp ATW with 15psi.
Good news - The power kicks in hard very, very quickly. For example on the last dyno run, at 2500rpm I had 40hp rising to 80hp at 3000rpm (and maxing out at about 145hp). That is a 40hp rise in 500rpm... not too bad I suppose. But now!
At 2500rpm I'm at again 40hp, but at 3000rpm I'm at 120hp which is a 150% power increase over the 80hp before. I tell you what, you really feel it when you go from 40hp to 120hp in 500rpm. And then it is a steady rise with max power at about 4400rpm.
The good thing is, even though I didn't get the max power I wanted, when I change gears and drop back to 3000rpm I have a whole extra 40hp at the wheels and the car feels much faster and is, it is just not peaking at the power I thought. It should make a lot quicker 1/4mile time due to the fact the turbo is spooling much quicker and harder, even if it only has a slightly higher max power.
But overall, it is good, and drives much smoother now
