Default Back from the dealer - power is down???

APR chip with 2 available settings - I turned it in to the dealer to do the 60K service with it set to stock - reset the chip to 93 octane in the parking lot when I picked her up - but now the boost seems SO LOW...I have no idea - could they have re-flashed the ECU? What can a dealer do that would make it act like that? It feels like it has more boost when I set the ECU to stock now...anyone have similar experience? TIA

Sure sounds like limp mode. Is your CEL on?

Default No CEL - don't think it is limp mode

Not a major reduction in power - just a definite seat of the pants feel that the boost is not coming on like it used to. Again this is in the 93 oct program, the stock program works like it used to - that is what I have been driving lately...
