Default If the jump from stock to normal GIAC was 100 units, I'd say X feels like 40-50 units on top of that
Especially up high (4000-6000RPM).

But it's beefier in the sweetspot, too (2000-4000RPM)

Default I feel it down low (1500-3000) as much as up high (5000-6000)
I guess with my Tip I spend more time down there, though

Default noticeably more powerful
I would guess about 10 more hp across the range...more torque too...

from stock to chip is WAY more noticeable than chip to X.

Do they make the X-chip for the non-dbw?

Default just installed mine and lovin it...
not the same increase from stock to chip but smoother power delivery throughout. seems that the turbo kicks in a little earlier than with the 1.0bar chip.

Default *wave*
That's for your BPV, which is going the way of the Dodo real soon

I think my TT valve is going, and I installed it the day before the X went in...
