Boost/exhaust leak? What's that valve that collapses on the 225's? Forgot the name of it....
I'm sure (like anything else with our wonderful cars) if it continues you will eventually throw a code.
I beleive you are thinking of the Turbo inlet pipe, but his issue is with a bad sensor reading.

Yeah that's it!

im not sure what this could be...? think you can pull some vacuum lines and see if there are sludge build-ups in there? this might help to diagnosis.

I've had some hella big boost leaks before and never hit limp mode, and I've had vac leaks too which never caused limp... its got to be a sensor, I just haven't had the time to play aroung with it. I always thoughtlimp was caused by something serious, i.e. something that would threaten the life of the motor so to say...
