Default GIAC CHIP
So a day after getting the GIAC chip I had a light come on saying to add a quart of oil despite oil being serviced about a week ago. Shortly after a light came on saying steering error but said I could still drive. Next radiator hose popped of about an hour later and had to have a bodyshop quickly fix that for me. Then while leaving the shop the steering error turned red and said now I could no longer drive and the wheel became like a rock ended up getting the car towed back to the GIAC shop. Story of my saturday

I've been driving with the GIAC stage 2 since April. I have had the occasional O2 sensor check engine light but those have been cleared without issue. I'm sure it will get straightened out quickly.

Does it strike anyone else as odd that the radiator hose popped off? How would that have anything to do with the car having a tune?

In the shop now they are saying it isnt related to the chip at least for the steering issue it ended up being the steering rack which they should be replaced today...lol on the bright side got a lot of compliments on the car while waiting on the tow truck
