k im running in limp mode 5-7 PSI at max... im using TurboXS UTEC Stage 2 on my WRX.... i searched NASIOC didnt find answers.. every1 on there just told me to search and tune my maps ? yeah.... anyways its not the restricter Pill.. i felt it and its still there and in the right place.... i have NO cel lights.. all the searches i found are with CEL lights taking um into LIMP mode.. i didnt touch the maps to.. its base maps from the turboXS website... im going to try and update my UTEC tommmarow to V5.8... maybe thats the problem ? im hooked up the ABC to that came with it.. turned it higher and boost stayed same.. yup thats about it... hope u guys can help me ASAP... thanks

 

reset the computer

 

by computer u mean UTEC ? should that fix the problem ?

 

not the utec, but the factory ecu. i believe that would need a reset. i have had come across that exact problem you are having before. a reset normally gets rid of it.

i seen this problem with no em, and also with ap. i haven't seen it with utec, but i think it's because i don't see much utecs in general.

 

i think he meant the ECU. have you tried dissconnecting the utec and running just the stock ecu by itself? could be something mechanical also or a vaccum leak

 

ohh ok.. ill try disconnect neg battery.. and then plug it back in.. ill also try the other stuff tommaorw.. ill let u know if it works.. thanks for the fast responses

 

so if i try disconnecting the UTEC and run the stock ECU.. the boost should go to 11-12PSI right ? i hope its not something machanical or a vaccum leak :S

 

if you do take out the utec and reset the ecu the boost "should" be normal. if not then you can rule out the utec and look at other things

 

k i reset ecu... still no work.. gotta try taking out UTEC.... btw my car felt the same since i bought it... before i got boost gauge.. maybe they sold it to me in limp mode -_--

 

k i ran the stock ECU and still dosn't work.... after i plug'd my UTEC back in more trouble.. my CEl light blinked 4-5x which means like stage 4-5 that the prior owner had.. i felt like my engine was gonna explode if i go past 5000 rpm... so i drove slow home and now i think im gonna run with stock ecu untill i find a solution

 

did you reset the ecu after you took off the utec? make sure you double check all your hoses to check for leaks.

 

^^^agree check for leaks, if not if you are using that BC that came with the utec those have many problem also. Mine was the BC. Let me know I have an extra one laying around.

 

yeah the ABC that came with it seems to have no effect at all.. i turn it and my boost dosnt inc... i reset my ECU a few times already.. im just going to run my stock ECU for now untill i can get help or find the problem

 

what you should try is dissconnecting the
MBC and seeing if that makes a difference.maybe a bad boost solenoid? but seriously check all your hoses b/c that a very likely cause

 

i never got around to building one but ....
