Sounds like limp mode?

Any of those mods new? Does the uppipe have the o2 sensor?

What kind of tune do you have? Are you running an access port? I've got a code reader, you can borrow in the east bay.

omfg... you have all that stuff and no tune??????

you need to get down to one of the local shops right now. See Mike at GST in Hayward, Ed at EQ Tuning in vacaville/fairfield, Kevin at Auto Head Quarter in Redwood City or Adam and Noah in Novato.

There's a shop on just about every part of the bay, you could have some serious problems.

(btw I was wrong I ment EGT, not o2)

I'm speech-less. No tune?
You have at least a basic map for vf series turbo, such as from accessport, right? If not, you might have a serious problem now.
