Ok... I think the FD is in Limp mode. 3 questions:
1. How do I know for sure?
2. Would flooding it BAD cause it? Or possibly the battery dying? What else?
3. How do I get it out?
I remember with the turbo GSR, Greddy send the wrong injectors... (different Impedance) and I would hit fuel cut... Then I would go into this BS where I could only drive the car UNDER 3K... No boosting...
Well, the FD is doing the same thing. I can rev it in neutral to redline... But cant drive with ANY load on the turbos... Or it just falls on its face and pops.. Black smoke and mad gas smell..
I checked all hoses, MAP sensor, PMS settings... All is good.
Any help is much appreciated!

im pretty sure that you would have an engine check light, if if it is in linmp home mode.
the times i have been in LHM, as soon as i gave it more than 1/2 throttle it would stall and fall on its face. it wouldnt allow any boost.

are you getting an error code? things like the MOP/OMP or failed sensor like the water thermosensor and intake air thermosensor will cause this if they are too far gone....

It HAS to be in Limp Home... Acting JUST like it... This is going to **** me off...
I'll reset the ECU when I get home today..
