Default Anyone have limp mode problems with just a chip?

curious if anyone has a chipped 225 that occasionally goes into limp? car will pull HARD thru some of it's gears and then all of a sudden feel slow as hell thru the next. it's not gear related. VAG shows it pulling back timing when it does this. it's also hitting 1.5bar thru midrange. anyone else with similar stuff, or maybe ideas?

Xchip. same file seems fine in my buddies car though. most of the time it's amazingly strong, but sometimes not.

bone stock other than that. being that that's the case, i don't see how it's doing this. especially frustrating when i have a FMIC and 2.75 exhaust sitting in my garage.

Default Be happy that you don't have the "X" chip, or do you?

The X chip, pulls the timing back at boost levels over 17psi..
