Default APR Chip - Smells Funny After Full Throttle Run...
I've had my new APR chip installed for several weeks. After full-throttle hard acceleration (not necessarily high rpm), a distinct and pretty strong smell comes into the cabin. This happens even if it's a short acceleration. Any ideas???

Thanks

Default still can be clutch if its not grabbing fully, or if you have a SS and its not adjusted properly
so that the car is in gear completely...???

Default oil leak my friend, get it checked. Probably right around your exhaust mani's...
which is why you smell it when you do. I had a turbo leak that behaved exactly like that, but never did a drop of oil hit the ground, and the oil level never dropped a lot.

check it for an oil leak
