After that, if the HP is significantly lower, let your tuner know. If anything, your car should have at least the same HP.

Not trying to be a full on dick, ya gotta remember we're on the other end of the computer, things get missed and not told

I agree though, i would dyno it if it feels that different, ECU should have nothing to do with power unless its tuned wrong, even pros make mistakes

havent been able to make it to a dyno yet but i did fix ALOT of boost leaks...multiple couplers,secondary injector gromments,throttle body oring...etc i have found what may be causing it to feel so slow is the actual turbo compressor is leaking badly where it meets the center section. dont know if it missing the o-ring or got torn somehow but it leaks bad under a boost leak test. plan on taking it off this weekend and will post up what i find

If you found a bunch of leaks then you should have the car tuned again as it will be running off the old map..the one with the "excess air being let in".

that seems way to lean for wanting to run 12-17psi
