I just had my car chipped with Apr 1.0 and could not feel any difference. I wonder if my turbo is even working. I have only had it three days so for all I know my turbo never worked.

Are you sure you are in chipped mode?

when I first got the APR chip I thought it wasn't working either but give it a while you will slowly start to notice the difference. The top end is nice but what I sarted to notice is that when it shifted gears( automatic) you could feel the extra boost. A good test would be to race someone that you have raced before and see if you do better.

I tried both modes and they did not seem to make a difference.

Unfortunately I haven't raced anybody in it, but I will give it some time. How does one check the turbo to see if it is working properly?

and gun it...you will hear it spool up.

Maddog

Cool, I will do that(it is usually a high pitch noise?)

then your turbo is not working, the turbo is very easy to identify.

Drive hard at night. Open the hood and check if the turbo is glowing red

Nice ride!
