limp mode problems
so i just installed a manual boost controller, but i kept it at the lowest possible to see what it would be like. of course something had to go wrong, and i was in limp mode. anyone know what the problem could be? and no i dont have a VAG so if anyone knows of a similar story and solution that would be great.

Why did you put in a mbc anyway??

limp mode is the most horrible mode ever. i had it once and i hope i never have it again!
the car has no power whatsoever. its the most gradual acceleration ever!
no words can describe the horror!

The reason im asking for the yr is becuase a MBC can put you into limp mode very easily if you have 2000yr+ and your actual boost is much different from what your requested boost is from the ecu. Stupid boost sensor in the IC. If you have 2000+ you were probably running really rich from the lack of boost and it put you in limp mode. No matter what year you are, and dont have the n75 pluged in (electrically) then that would cause limp mode like smokeu said..

RE: limp mode problems
its a 99 a4qtm and i plugged the MBC into the wastegate and pressure regulator. the n75 is plugged in electronically and has a hose into the intake, the other two nipples are being recirculated with a hose connecting the two...am i missing anything here?
