HAHA! I've been running in limp mode for the last 6 months.

It came to a head today when I noticed I was only boosting at 10lbs. (Dont ask why it took this long)
Went over to Jon1.8t's house and looked up the instructions for direct port software. After 5 mins of guessing the unlock code, we got it in and changed the software mode.
Lo and behold, I'm now boosting at 17lbs and giddy like a schoolboy.
I also cleared error code 16395 which was related to the cam shaft tensioner. RKA posted the solution ages ago and it worked great. Try unplugging the cam tensioner harness and plugging it back in. No codes as of yet.
Sweet! I'm a noob!

i replaced the BPV, MAF, Throttle Body, ECU, checked for leaks, cleaned intake, and probably a couple other things i can't even think of now trying to fix it... finally broke down a bought a new turbo a few weeks ago, and it should be in in the next couple days, so hopefully that'll end it... oh yeah replaced N75 too.
i've been in school, so i haven't really had much time/$$$ to fix it. and i took it to a shop and left it with them so they could find the problem, said it was the ECU, so i bought a whole new one. didn't fix ****, so i was out quite a bit of money from wasting my time with them. we'll see if the new turbo fixed it soon though. it's been sad, i figure i'm pushing about 135-140hp in chipped mode right now.
