Default Disappoint with X-chip!
This sucks ****! I just got a boost gauge installed and it is saying i'm running 6PSI with my X-chip.

I thought it might be the chip so the dealer put another one in and still the same. The dealer says that I have a boost leak somewhere.

This weekend I put my stock chip back on and I'm running 7psi! What gives? Bad installation or do I have a torn TBB? If that is the case shouldn't I be running a lower boost with stock chip?

Oods are it's a leak somewhere or bad MAF and not the chip.

Dont think a bad MAF can cause Limp Mode.

Default It can. It can throw Bank 1 and 2 lean codes which can cause a CEL and limp mode.
It happened to mean when my MAF went bye bye.
