I don’t think I get that many MPG’s… I can’t keep my foot of the pedal and stay away from boost.  
First three weeks I had the car, amazing. “Wow, this is so much better on gas than my VR6…” yadda yadda yadda.  
Nope. Not anymore.

:ponder

hes talking about turbo failure, things of that nature, not the chip… APR does free software updates, ie a newer version of the 91 or 93octane program,… many other companies do that as well
