check to see if you have a factory wicked wheel, if not then do that upgrade first! the ts chip allows for many more options than the edge

wicked wheel helps eliminate compressor surge that occurs with elevated hp levels and causes the turbo failure. generation 1 costs about $75 and generation 2 has boost gains 10 psi over gen1 documented and costs $229
