Ya I have had it happen before in my wagon. Have the code pulled but its possibly a misfire.

Do you have a lightened flywheel or after market clutch?

By the way...
Mileage and mods list?

Don't drive your car to hard, from what I was told is your car has put itself in a safe map mode so it doesn't cause other damage.
Just be easy til you get the cel pulled.

Get the code read asap. The cruise control light will blink whenever the cel is turned on, it's also disabled.

You'll feel your timing retarded, so try not to boost.

Retarded timing would allow for more boost.

here is a list of a bunch of codes, not seeing p1575 though

Also, whenever the Cruise control light flashes, it means your car misfired. It will flash for awhile and then eventually turn off. Most of the time this happens and it doesn't trigger the Check Engine light

LIC is your closest reputable shop, I'd suggest having the car towed there unless you're still under warranty.

LIC Motorsports

Oh, and welcome to i-club

I don't think retarded is the PC term anymore.
