I'm with Alex on this one -- the dealer is probably reading the prior higher boost levels recorded by the ECU when it was chipped. I doubt your ECU is bad, but I guess anything is possible. You need to find a mod-friendly dealer so you can give your "doctor (tech)" full and complete information when trying to diagnose a problem.

Does anyone know how long the car keeps track of data such as boost levels? Could the car have been reverted to stock sooner and not have the dealer detect "overboosting"?

I can't get anyone to install a set of plugs in this thing. I beleive at this point that is what the problem. I don't beleive it's the ECU.

Im tired at this point. I went to LA 3 times yesterday to have people just point me back to the dealer (ARGH!!).
