Dieing TUrbo or Ornery Computer?
Well yesterday i was driving home on Scott Rd. (a windy empty road). i was driving hard, but not super hard. I have driven the whole thing ***** to the wall and been fine. I was just having fun this time
well long story short, I came out of a turn and punched it. it felt really sluggish so i looked down and saw that i was only boosting 5 psi (im chipped). every gear, any rpm all i could get was 5 psi. after getting into the neighborhood by boost came back.
the only thing i can think of is that the computer saw the turbo as too hot and told it to slow down for a bit, kinda like a minmp mode (but i heard limp mode is 2 psi)
today i went for a drive. i was in resedential so i couldnt get too high in gears, but the boost seamed a little wierd. maby even a little more lag. any ideas?

so it went into limp mode again today. i was cruising at between 80 adn 100 for a few minutes. when i came to a stop and accellerated away i noticed it went back into limp mode.
i drove nice for a few minutes, left the car. came back 2 hours later and it stayed in limp mode for another few minutes.
now i think its in limp mode. it doesnt give me a CEL so iono....
