The extra boost could be showing some weaknesses in the coilpacks and spark plugs.
How's the fuelling?
Where did you get the chip from (ebay perhaps?)

Mine is doing the same mate. Ran it on V power and it helps but still stutters and loses boost. Changed plugs and its still the same. Ordering some new coil packs tomorrow so hopefully this will cure it! Mines a 95 wrx.

From what i have read on here before, EBAY chips are BAD news. Maybe yours is fine. I'm sure there is someone on here that could tell you moree.
