[s-cars] shutdown issues?

[Bruce Mendel]

Karl,

You're experiencing the car going into "limp" mode when it reaches high
boost due to pressure loss that confuses the ECU. Look for split of torn
hoses in the boost line, loose clamps, the line going through the firewall
to the pressure transducer popping off at high boost, etc.
