    Default GIAC boost

    ok I have a GIAC chip in my car and I'm spiking 18-19psi , and holding about 15
    how many of u guys are also doing this , I'm asking because all the ppl that have GIAC tell me they spike 21
    sooo... idk whats wrong then , I had a boost leak before but Ive fixed it , so I'm not sure what it might be this time

    check your DV to see if any seals are busted on it. My Forge had busted seals that were causing leaking. If not. . .

    Make sure you have the latest chip, you might not have X+

    Forge released a statement saying that the DV is not designed to run in reverse. They said it shortens the life of the DV.
