Default Had my GIAC X chip for a weekend now:

I went with it because my dealership actually promoted the damn thing and set me up with a local dealer, who turned out to be a pretty cool guy.
After having a chip for a few days I noticed a few things: The major one being that my car pulls hard even with a passanger. It feels as if the turbo kicks in at a much lower RPM range creating more power a lot quicker. It has become exceptionally hard not to speed now, especially in the 4th gear. The only thing I noticed was slight hesitancy in the 3rd at full throttle, but that's such a small price to pay for the grin on my face every time I drive.
I also added an Evo CAI and even though my car is louder I must admit I like the sound the DV makes.
Few more things are now on the way... and this is the car that I promissed myself I would keep stock. This could be bad... I only had it for a week.

There shouldn't be hesitation.. check your coolant temp sensor.

I was thinking H&R sport springs and shocks. Suggestions? Nice wheels!
