Recently my car has been running into a few strange problems after my new tune (RC3+):
Once the car warms up it performs beautifully. It effortlessly sustains 21 PSI. If I go beyond that, let's say 25 PSI, the car hits a brick wall. I lose all ability to accelerate and can only hit a new maximum of 6 PSI or so, while pouring smoke and watching the EGTs climb a few hundred degrees.
Upon turning off the car and restarting it, everything's fine and back to normal. I do not have a huge lead food problem, so I don't run into the 25 PSI range very often, so I really only encounter this problem once a week, if that.
As this is, what I believe to be, the situation known as "limp mode," I believe I have covered most of the bases.
1) I installed a new N75 two months ago
2) With the new PD150 turbo inlet pipe that I installed 2 weeks ago, a new MAF was installed
This only leads me to believe one thing, either my new N75 or MAF is bad, or I need to install the 3 bar map sensor. Are my conclusions sound? Any better ideas or suggestions?
