Default DBW too sensitive with APR chip, feels like I'm always activating the turbo....

I followed the installation instructions and let it sit to recalibrate. Maybe it is normal, but it feel to me like the turbo activates much too soon. I only have about 1 inch on the gas pedal before the turbo kicks in, almost regardless of my state of acceleration. I would like the turbo to hold off until I am really pushing (atleast 2 inches on the gas). Any recommendations?

Default You need to drive it for a while until your chip re-learns your driving style

It WILL get better with time....

Keep in mind that your turbo has always started kicking in around 1800 rpms.... it just has a little more kick to it now..
