Default Describe limp mode... thing my car went into that getting on the freeway today..

I was driving and normally my car puts out 22lbs of boost. As I was getting on the freeway (NOT under full throttle) the car suddenly dropped to 7lbs of boost, and would not go any higher in any gear at any RPM- 7lbs was the max. No check lights, nothing like that. I switched the car back into stock mode on my APR chip and the same deal- 7lbs of boost. Any thoughts, how can I reset it from limp mode if that is what it is in.

Default 7 lbs of boost is what you'll get..>>>

If the N75 is unplugged (or busted). Check that Tom. You won't hit limp until around 29 PSI or so, so I doubt it's that.

with a few mods. You want to have some extra Intake cooling (like an FMIC) and monitor A/F ratios to make sure it's safe on your car though!<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/ttschwing/boost_machine_and/">Boost machine....</a></li></ul>

Ok, I will either reinstall the orig. N75, might try reseting the ECU first.

Bad MAF can cause this.
