help, p0244
I am getting p0244 for the second time this week. I have never gotten this code and I have topped off at higher speeds than what I was going. Could it be the cold air? Help please.

post your mods, and do a search please.
I've not seen a waste gate CEL before, but I imagine it happens at higher boost levels.
Under what conditions does this happen?
Have you adjusted your wastegate actuator at all?
Do you have the stock turbo?
Do you have a 3 port boost solenoid or a Manual/Electric boost controller?
Do you have engine management?
One thing you can do is download a data logging tool like ECUExplorer(http://www.openecu.org) or the one from http://www.openecu.org and start logging boost related items.

Yeah, I just got off the phone with Cobb and they said it was creep. I have a 3" TBE with Cobb stage 2 map.I just need to get the fuel cut tuned out of the map.
Sounds like the FBC might be malfunctioning. Do you have a boost gauge and if you do what are you seeing when you punch it in 5th?
You might want to try cleaning your FBC. If that doesn't work try swapping FBC's before you go spending any $.
I'll look in my service manual and get back to you later.

What is FBC? Fuel Boost Controller? Factory Boost Controller?

You deffinately need atleast a tune to take care of this. Sometimes even tuning can't alleviate the more severe cases of boost creep. In such cases you would need to get the wastegate ported to fix the issue.
Thanks

I'll admit I don't know much about the 2.5's so please understand my ignorance if I'm way off.
