Nope. You won't notice a thing.....at least not until you get a chip.

Install it now, that way you will not have the defueling condition when you do push past 24psi of boost.

What the overboosting will do, of course de-fueling but will it always set the SES? Or does it throw some codes only, 'cause mine is acting like it de-fuels in WOT... but I'm not sure yet, just waiting to get the gauges to see what's going on. It also feels like it almost chokes when it shifts higher gears and opens the wastegate. But when it reaches like 65-70 then it starts to run great.
I may have the fuel starving problem too. Because after like quarter mile WOT and and then stop let it idle, the idle is little bit "shaky" like 30 sec. Then it clears and runs smoothly. But every time with WOT and when it reach over 3000rpm it feels like starving of fuel. What could cause this? I may have to do the Tank mod asap.
