No, what color wire did you clip that didn't fix the problem? You must fix your diagnostic port first.

I clipped a green and blue wire . When plugged into the aftermarket harness turned into blue and white wire which they had ran to the remote wire . Seeing on other threads that's what alot of companies do who put in stereo systems and off the site it was the same port number as well. But a lil update I got my new DV and installed it while installing it i noticed my charge pipe off the turbo had oil coming sdown from it so I suspected that's my boost leak tighted the clamp down that was loose and with the new DV and tighting down that clamp. The car runs a lot better and doesn't so much fall on its face any more still backfires if I rev it and still a lil choppy idle . But pulls a lot better

Glad to hear things are improving. What radio/sound system did your car come with originally? Bose or non Bose?

If non Bose, it looks like you clipped the correct wire according to the Bentley as well..strange. Not sure what to suggest now..

None Bose .. and car runs a lil better but still does fall drastically on its face at 3200 rpm if you keep boost between. 5 to 10 Psi . But if you boost past that it pulls threw with no hesitation least I don't think so atleast car still feels to be lacking some power but holds 15t to18psi 5th at 20 psi
