Harvey, give us a bit more detail if you can please and we'll see if we can suggest something. I have an '04 LC5 that's been chipped so we're on the same wavelength!

Could it be a leak? The rubber pipe coming out the intercooler on mine was loose and had some blowby.
The loss could be this or the ECU trying to go into limp mode but chip is stopping it?
