Ever since the ETM crapped out on me and I had the dealership upload new software, the computer has been acting up.
After driving the car hard, the ECU cuts it to only 5 pounds of boost and the car violently stumbles upon letting off from anything more than half-throttle. Also, when at a stop, it idles rough and the entire car shakes with the motor sounding like its about to fall out of the car.
All this is remedied by simply shutting the car off then turning it back on again, only until you drive the car like it's not supposed to be driven again. No idiot lights, and the incompetant dealership can't find anything. Anyone else have this problem?
The car only has 51K on it. Time to get rid of it?

Don't get rid of it! Take it back to the dealership and tell them that this started after they flashed it. See what they will do for you.

Yeah if you had it chipped the ETM software update will wipe out the ECU upgrade like it did on mine. And I was back to stock for about a week.

I'm so sick of this damn ETM software update's....it's only correcting or masking the initial problem.
