I want a chip!!! What should I do first? exhust? Blow off Valve? then Chip. I don't want to cause any damage to my car and will it void my warranty?

Default of course you should chip it.

yes you should expect warranty issues if you chip it, yes you should expect a shorter lifespan on your turbos if you chip it, yes you should chip it anyway.

NO - it will damage your car and void your warranty.

Default A meathead would put a manual boost controller on it and crank it up.

We don't recommend the meathead approach. Chip it, but don't expect the dealer to warranty your turbos if they kick the bucket. And if anything, the chip won't break your car, but it will expose any pre-existing weaknesses that might be present (bad hoses, old plugs, etc., old BPV's, etc.). Be prepared to deal with that, and if you're not, then don't chip it.

Default You really should get the Giac XRT chip...

Mad boost and the dealer will never even know it's in there.
