Do you have any throttle response when the EPC light comes on?

dont you just love the extra PSI boost?

If I pull to redline in 2nd my boost jumps to ~14psi from 5500-6500.

EPC is Electronic Power Control

Pretty sure Its a failsafe. Your ECU will drop your power if it thinks you're overboosting or overstressing engine to prevent damage. Usually it comes in conjunction with the limp mode symptoms... and it sometimes will come on if you lose traction and overspeed your wheels (will also get a ESP light with this one)

if you chip your car you should be doing 15 psi (i know for my giac 91+ for sure) on a 180 TT K03(s). with the mbc should be able to do 20psi+ but limp mode is quite aggrevating i must say.
