Limp mode - help
#2
We need more info! Please read...
If your car is running properly, it shouldn't be going into limp mode. Limp mode due to overboost is a safety procaution in the engine software to protect the turbo from cooking itself. What are your current mods? Without knowing that, it's impossible to offer you any help.
The reason I responded with "proper tuning or less boost" yesterday when you asked this question is because those are the only ways I am aware of to cure your condition. Until the software is changed to account for the boost level you are running or the boost level is changed so that it's not going over the limit set in the ECU it will always recognize the overboost condition and send the car into limp mode.
Hope this helps,
Shaun
