I never test drove it untill this morning on the way to work. No codes, no lights, very smooth running. I had to wait about 8 min for the temp to get up since its 37deg here right now. After that, I went to my typical "stomp on it" spot and ran through the gears as I normally would.
If definately feels slower. Smooth, but slower. In fact its not doing the nasty rear end kick & walk that it used to do into second gear.
No boost leaks or anything, since the gauge is still showing 14.5 (ish) Does it take time to adjust or something? 
Ive heard some folks unhooked the battery. Wasnt that after running it for a while and the ecu adapting? It hasnt had any time to adapt to anything yet since Ive only done 2 pulls. (1st from 10-70 and then a 3rd gear pull).
One more thing. Power comes on noticeably different when just strolling through the neighborhood slowly. I shift at very low RPMS when puttering around there. Before it would be sluggy (since the rpms were so low) then the power would surge on strong until the next slow speed shift. Just an observation, but not necessarily indicating anything. Heck, its probably a good thing.

GOt mine installed today. It is still adapting but it did not feel slower at all than the 1.47. Felt faster and smoother.
