Hi All,
After reading up on all the posts from this list I have gathered you guys
know what your talking about, and there is a great deal of BTDT.
BTW, us newbies need a dictionary for all the short form that gets used.
Here is my cars problem,
-The Car,
'93 Canadian S4... '92 US specs. (Still wondering about that)
TAP Stage 3 chipset c/w 3 bar sensor.
TAP wastegate spring.
996 Front Brakes
A8 fronts on the rear
Eibach springs / bilstein shocks
255/40/17 Yok's
and 1 BAD A$$ stereo... to compensate for lack of power, as well
as lack of hearing.
-The Problem.
I get very good boost, 28 psig, in 5th. The problem is when I keep
that boost for more that 5 seconds or so, then the CPU goes into limp mode.
This results in little boost, and unhappy driver.
I am getting a little tired of doing 100 MPH reboots of the cpu, it
particularly nasty at night.
I have the Stromung exhaust on order, hoping this might ease things a bit.
Anyone have any BTDT , or any other relevant help.
I will await the verbal thrashing for using TAP I suppose :-)
Regards,
Mark S
