GIAC spikes that up to topping out at either 18 or 10, and tapering off to 16, or 18 if it spikes to 20

Audifast - it sounds as if you are in what is called "Limp Mode" which is due to your ECU detecting some significant problem - boost leak or something else related to your engine/turbo performance. You need to get it thoroughly checked out and dealt with. Its telling you that if you were running with boost you would be damaging something....
