ok I got my car running the guy that did my chip had it all wrong and programmed it right.. but then I got an email from him saying that the chip is probably lean and I shouldnt drive my car till the dyno tune.. holy **** I had it in for 2 days and I went into boost.. could I have ****ed something up.. I never took the RPMS really high but I did floor it a few times.. the car seems to run fine.. could I have screwed something up.. didnt hear any pinging when driving..

You would hear it if it was detonating. LOUD pinging/tapping noise.

That would piss me off to get an e-mail and not a phone call. So this will be the 3rd time he tries to get it right?

BTW, where are you located?

pinging and detonation is easy to hear...and the KABOOMMMM isnt hard to recognize either

What's off by 1.6? Your A/F ratio?
