<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/14833/dscn0468.jpg"></center><p>something wierd just happened. drove the car and it was making no boost like 5 pounds, i run an abt/ams chip and i have a boost gauge so i was able to see the boost. i came home and did an adaptation hoping this would reset the ecu, with the key and the boost returned, although i thaught i heard some vacume leak, then the ecu shut the boost down automatically again. i cant hear any hissing unles the car is under load and every time i test to hear where it is coming from the ecu kills the boost and has to be reset. what would cause the ecu to cut the boost. is there a spacific hose that if blown would do this? my tbb boot looks fine and does not seem to be hissing and i have no ce light on. any help would be realy appreciated.

Limp mode. Please check for boost leaks and report back.

any specific hoses i should look at

if the problem goes away then your wheels are defective

you should not smoke that stuff in front of the little ones.

vaccum. Just remove em and suck the vaccum nipple. You'll hear if they are torn.

If you remove the ECU, let it sit for a bit, reconnect, you'll be fine for say a couple of miles, than CEL comes on again, causing it to go into limp mode. If you have a 2000, must be teh BOSCH, mine was replaced today, running happily 16 PSI again....

Could be it, and else, as said earlier, pressue test.

BTW, your car is DROP DEAD GORGIOUS......
