Default Installed my S.Schwing VTDA and LOST my top end..!

Well, i must say so far i am dissapointed.First of all i do know my way around a car so i'm sure i have the install right.It's really a no-brainer.
I seemed to have gained a bit of low end grunt but when i try to see what the top end is like she really falls short.Either from a dead or at speed.I do have the Forge 007P installed too.Stock spring that came with it ( green 1 i think it is )is in it.
All i have ever heard was good things about Steves go fast goodies.The VTDA is very nice.
Where did i go wrong here..?
And please dont tell me that now i need an exhaust system to feel the benefit..lol

Anybody got any ideas..??

OK, so i pulled the Forge DV and went to the next heavier spring. ( yellow ) That seemed to help.It ( the motor ) seems to like the pedal fed to it in a different way than before.A little more gradual. If i feed the pedal a certain way i do get some nice pull.At higher RPM's it still seems to be suckin lots of air but not pulling as hard as i would think it should.The VTDA is a nice product for sure.It's doin it's job.I guess i'll just have to experiment.
Any suggestions please fell free... :-)
I'm a turbo nOOb so bare with me.

Default i think its like when you have to change the battery, you feel like you've lost your software...

ugrade. It takes the computer a few hours to recheck/re-align itself. After a day or so you should notice a difference. I'm interested in the intake, hope your top end improves. I wouldn't get one if our top ends sucks even more than it does w/ the K03.
