like a chip or just not slow down as fast like an exhaust upgrade?

Default Does it add or just keeps you from losing HP. I think its to keepp you from losing HP

Maybe like BPV's or a good TBB, doesnt add power just keeps the car from losing power.
I could be completely wrong about this as I usually am : )

Default You get a noticable increase in thrust from a chip, from an exhaust upgrade.....

the turbos spool allitle cooler but what you notice after driving is that the car no longer seems to run out of breath after 5800 RPM

Default DBW???... an exhaust frees up the air track incresing engine VE so regardless of the turbos....

making no more power after 5500 your engine would still be.

Default That's pretty much the best way to look at it IMO.

Helps maintain your ability to use the power of the engine, does not increase it.

I've certainly never read any claim of more power. On the other hand, how could you even measure it, certainly not on a dyno.
