Got some serious issues and I need some help

Ok So I just got the Blitz front mount installed today and to test it out I decided to rip third gear for a second. Everything was great. Lag was a bit more pronounced but that was expcted. Until I hit about 5000 rpm. The car actually felt like it was holding something back?? The EGT went through the roof and the exhaust was sputtering really badly. On top of all that I got a CEL and ever since I backed off and coasted home.

Running a stock up and down for now. Got a RS-R down and catback coming in. Am I running rich?? Lean?? I got no clue. Whats going on with my car?? Any help would be greeatly appreciated.

If you pull the CEL code that will probably help diagnose the problem. What were your EGTs (off the roof = ?) and where is your EGT probe located.
Also did the car go into limp mode?

kimchee,

Was that you at Hypersports yesterday? Sorry I didn't introduce myself.
My guess is same as Chibby's, a leak. Check all the piping, hoses and hose clamps.
