Do you have the stock DV? Is so, that may be your problem. I would replace it, a 710N DV would be fine. gl

Welcome to the forum.

Lots of information here and help from the members.

As a matter of fact, I think you already have your answer.

Yes ur chip may be broken. Its happened before to ppl so that may be it but when having a chipped car u shouldnt have a stock DV so start with that b/c u need it anyway and it may solve the problem.

For the record, if you DID upgrade your DV, then you might have just gotten used to the increase power, and you're now thirsty for more

the only real way to check is with a boost gauge.

You can definately tell if your chip is working or not though.. If your car isnt pulling then its off, unless its its dif then mine, bc when mine is working it pulls hard, but i can tell right away when it stops working its slow as hell...I think it is your DV..
